Book content
It’s snowing! Five little ducks can’t wait to go out and play. They pull on their bright new boots and race outside for an exciting day of snowballs and skating. When evening arrives, the tired little ducklings are happy to find the perfect toasty ending to their busy day.
Why suitable
As the winter is coming, a book which talks about snow and skates will be very suitable for this weather.
Comment on illustration
The Engaging crayon illustrations in this book can really make people feel warm inside. This is what makes this book a pleasure to read.
Provocation
Teachers can stick paper boots all around the center before children actually arrive in the morning.
Presentation
1: Felt board story. Several felt characters will be needed: ducks, mitten, skate board, snow.
2: Audience Participation: Let children act out the five little ducks. This enables them to communicate with their friends and be able to consider other people's perspectives as well.
3: Music reading: Read the book while playing some music. The music choice will be soft but lively. When a teacher reads the book she/he has to change the sound, rhythm and tone, too.
Extention
1. Snow ball fight: Make fake snow balls with cotton that wrap with white fabric.
2. Mitten making: Children can make their own mittens. Teachers can simply draw out the shape of the mitten and let children use scissors to cut it up. They can then draw a picture on it and eventually, teachers can help the children connect the two mittens with a string. This gives them a feeling of accomplishment and ownership over a particular task.
3. Color painting: Teacher can print black and white pictures of ducks or copy illustrations from the book. Children can then paint the pictures with any kind of paint, such as crayon or oil paint. When the paint is dry, the pictures can be hang on the wall for display purposes.
