The Three Little Pigs

We have had so much fun with the 3 Little Pigs this week! We've read several versions and if you have not read "The Little Three Gators" by Helen Ketteman

or "Wait! No Paint!" by Bruce Whatley,

you are missing out! My class LOVED these! The "Wait! No Paint!" is perfect to introduce or refresh illustrators to your student.

Another absolutely awesome thing we did was incorporate some science and art into this theme. Our science concept was wind and the book "I Face the Wind" by Vicki Cobb.

It was perfect for introducing this theme to Kinders. I heard them later talking about air molecules!!!

I found the art activity at SprinklestoKindergarten. You can find the printable @ http://teacherweb.com/TX/Copperfield/MrsCrowder/Three-Little-Pigs.pdf.My teacher assistant took on our art activity in small groups this week. She had them retell the story of the original Three Little Pigs and they used straws, crinkle paper, popsicle sticks, and red legos as props to "blow" as the big bad wolf. They then made an awesome art picture by blowing their paint with their straws.
