THE POUT-POUT FISH MATCTING, COUNTING, AND FINE MOTOR

THE POUT-POUT FISH 

by Deborah Diesen

Mr. Fish swims through the ocean with a permanent downward pout, loudly proclaiming his gloomy disposition to other sea creatures who try to cheer him up. Dismissing their advice, he insists he is stuck with his attitude. That is, until a silvery, quiet fish swims up and gives him a big, unexpected kiss. The gesture helps Mr. Fish realize he isn't a "pout-pout fish," but rather a "kisskiss fish" meant to spread joy. Amazon Book Review

A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE 18 TEACHER PUPPER STICKS

A Squash and a Squeeze 

by Julia Donaldson
Story Retelling Puppets 

TEACHER & CHARACTER SET

Unit Objectives: These puppets are designed for kinesthetic retelling and auditory recognition. By physically moving the characters the story is read, students develop narrative recall, language fluency, and socialemotional engagement.

Puppet Set Includes:

1. Easy Version: Character circles in black and white for students to color.

2. 1 Teacher Example: A full color set to serve as a visual guide for the finished product.

Directions:

1. First: Color the character circles. Encourage students to use colors that match the characters found in the book to build visual association skills.

2. Second: Carefully cut out teacher character circle. For younger toddlers, the teacher may want to pre-cut these to focus entirely on the retelling aspect.

3. Third: Apply a small amount of glue to the top of a large stick (popsicle stick) student, (paint stirrer) used for teacher sticks.

4. Fourth: Press the character circle onto the glue and let it dry completely before use.

5. Teacher’s Idea: I highly recommend printing these puppets on card-stock. It is much sturdier for little hands and ensures the puppets will last through many story-time sessions!

THE POUT-POUT FISH TODDLER BOOK UNIT Theme Power of Choice

THE POUT-POUT FISH 

by Deborah Diesen

Theme: Shifting Mindsets: From Gloom to Glimmer & Power of Choice 

Focus: Mr. Fish believes he is destined to be sad and spread "dreary-wearies" all over the ocean simply because of his natural "pout-pout" face. Through gentle encounters with his undersea neighbors and a surprising twist of kindness, he discovers that his identity isn't fixed—he has the power to choose joy, smiles, and affection. This unit focuses on the logic of cognitive reframing . Little learners discover how to identify gloomy feelings, recognize that a bad mood isn't permanent, and practice turning a "pout" into a powerful smile.
