As we gear up for open house, the children are loving the unit on farm animals. This week we read The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! by Jon Scieszka. In this fun story, A. Wolf tries to clear his name by explaining that he was not at fault for the misleading tale of the three little pigs, but rather that the misunderstanding began because he simply wanted a cup of sugar for his granny. Along the way, he has a case of severe allergies and just so happens to blow the little pigs’ homes down.

With this important lesson, we incorporated a little bit of STEM by creating art sculptures of our own! During the story, we were excited to ask the children what makes a strong home. Some of the children shared ideas like wood, sticks, bricks, and concrete. We then got to work making our own concoctions of flour, salt, and water to create papier-mâché art. We can't wait for you to see the finished product at open house!
