The ant and the grasshopper


Some pics of our Ant and the Grasshopper unit


We retold the story using the mat

We matched words and pictures


We counted ants


We counted leaves 


Read the story
On one fine summer's day in a field a Grasshopper was hopping about in a musical mood. An ant passed by bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

The grasshopper invited the ant to sit for a chat with him. But the ant refused saying that "I’m storing up food for winter". " Why don’t you do the same?" asked the ant to the grasshopper.

"Pooh! Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got enough food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil.

Finally, when winter came, the Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing corn and grain from their storage.

Then the Grasshopper understood that…

Who was Aesop?

Who was Aesop?

Many common sayings come from Aesops Fables like "Honesty is the best policy," and "Look before you leap" are familiar examples of fables. Aesop is believed to have been a Greek slave who made up these stories in the 6th century BC. He gained a great reputation as a teller of animal fables. Through these many fables, Aesop showed the wise and foolish behavior of men, and taught a lesson in the form of a moral. Not much is known about the life of Aesop. It is believed Aesop was born in Thrace, Greece, as a slave. It is said that his wisdom so delighted one of his masters that the slave was given his freedom. According to one tradition, Aesop lived for a while as a slave on the island of Samos, after being freed he traveled widely, then was murdered while visiting Delphi.


There are no records that Aesop ever wrote down his fables or published them. His fables were not meant to entertain children. He told them as moral lessons for adults, who in turn passed them on to others. Not until 200 years after his death did the first written collection of fables appear. Aesop's fables later served as an inspiration for the writings of Jean de La Fontaine, a 17th-century French writer. Since then Aesop's Fables have been translated into almost every language in the world.

Fables


What is a fable?
         
  

A fable is a very short story which is meant to illustrate a point or teach us a lesson. Usually, but not always, fables are stories about animals that talk like people. The lesson that a fable teaches us is called a moral.

A parable means something similar. It is usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle.



Many common sayings come from Aesop's Fables: Don't count your chickens before they hatch, and Honesty is the best policy, and Look before you leap are familiar examples. Aesop is believed to have been a Greek slave who made up these stories to make his life easier. Nobody is really sure if Aesop made up these fables. What is certain, however, is that the stories called Aesop's Fables are so wonderful that they have been told over and over again for thousands of years.

Feed the frog


Feed the frog
You will need:
A frog (or any other animal)
Cards
What to do:
Beforehand prepare a set of cards with parts of the speech. I made mines with flies because frogs eat insects.Tell your children they have to feed the frog. But this frog doesn’t like eating the same everyday, so today she wants to eat just prepositions, for instance up, in, on…So children have to read the words they have and use the prepositions to feed the frog.

    Speaking wheel

    I made this speaking wheel as a warm up for the first days of school. Kids have to choose a topic, clip a clothespin and talk about it. I made one for boys and one for girls. 

    I also used the speaking wheel as sentence prompts to write about personal information.
