Today's Blue Spruce Story

Today's story is "Sloth at the Zoom" by Helaine Becker. It is our 9th Blue Spruce book (out of 10). We will have a video of the last book next week and then vote for our favourite on Monday June 1st!

Talk About It!

Talk to an adult about today's story.

1. Would you give this book a 1, 2 or 3 out of 3? (Remember a 1 means you didn't like it, a 2 means you thought it was okay, and a 3 means you really liked it!) Tell someone why you give it that rating.

2. This book has an important message about slowing down to enjoy the little things. With no school or activities to go to right now, you may also be slowing down a little. When you slow down and watch something over time, what changes do you notice?

3. Have you ever experienced a time when it was hard to make friends? What are some things you can do to help make friends? Ask a parent if they have any ideas to share with you!

Learning Activities: Get thinking about today's story by choosing an activity from below!

Capture Spring

Ask a parent if you can use a camera at home to capture the slow movement of things growing outside.

Pick a tree or plant in your yard or neighbourhood and take a picture of it every day for a week (or even longer if you like). You could even take a picture every hour if you like!

At the end of the week, look at all your photos together in order and see how much the plant has changed!
