PENNY AND HER SONG BOOK UNIT Theme: Self-Regulation, Creative Expression, and Family Consideration

Penny and Her Song 

by Kevin Henkes

Unit Overview: Penny and Her Song 

Theme: Self-Regulation, Creative Expression, and Family Consideration.

Focus: Penny comes home from school with a song she made up all by herself. She wants to sing it immediately, but her parents keep asking her to be quiet because the babies are sleeping. The unit focuses on emotional timing-learning that having a great idea is wonderful, but finding the right time to share it is a key part of living in a family or classroom community.

THE PUMPKIN THIEF TEACHER & STUDENT PUPPET STICKS

THE PUMPKIN THIEF 

by Alice Hemming

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 social-emotional engagement.

Puppet Set Includes:

1. Easy Version: Character in color to cut out

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

3. THIS SET HAS 8 TEACHER LARGE STICKS & 8 STUDENT SIZE in color.

Directions:

1. First: Cut out the characters. 

2. Second: Carefully cut out student characters. 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 teacher.

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!
