The students will participate in a read aloud, discussion, brainstorming, constructing a class book, sharing this class book, and role-playing focusing on the concepts of caring, sharing, cooperation, courtesy, and helpfulness through the child-friendly text of The Grouchy Ladybug. Adaptable for preschool.
The learner will:
- listen to a read-aloud story.
- tap prior knowledge to construct meaning.
- compare and contrast feelings of animals in the story with their feelings.
- identify acts of kindness in the story and real life.
- create a class book using the writing process and language experience.

Next week, the children will be readingThe Grouchy Ladybugby Eric Carle. This story focuses on a very grouchy ladybug and her relationship with a very friendly ladybug. Following our group reading, we will discuss the feelings of each ladybug and brainstorm a class list of ways that we can be kind to one another. Look for our list outside the classroom door and discuss it with your child during drop-off or pick-up. It might be fun to make a family list of ways that your family members can be kind to one another. This list would be perfect for posting on the refrigerator – perhaps with an accompanying illustration by your child!
