Three Little Pig exploration

At morning meeting we read The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by The Wolf by Jon Scieszka.  After we talked about how this book was different then the traditonal book of the three pigs. I then asked the students Who was telling the true? The pigs or the wolf. The children picked which on they thought told the truth and wrote their names on the piece of paper. ( It is hanging outside the classroom)

 

At center time  the children each worked on building their own pigs house with different materials. When they were done construting there building they brought it over to the Big Bad Wolf ( a blow dryer) to see if he could blow the house down.  Many children built several houses to see if they stayed up.

 

 

Here are some things that were said at one table during building

Jackson: Building with play dough

Olivia- Will the wolf eat lots of sugar? Tummy ache

Will- I had one once

Olivia- Uh oh it fell down

Diego- Fell down

Jackson- Big Bad Wolf

Diego- I want some more

jackson- Olivia why does it keep falling down

Olivia- Becuase it broke

Diego- Roll me ball more balls I want playdough

Jackson- Jenna look at my strong house, your never going to blow mine down

Olivia- Cant blew mine down big bad wolf.

Then the wolf tried to blow down each friends house. The list of who’s house was strong and who’s house was blown down is on the white board outside the classroom.

 

Some things that were said during blowing the house down

Erin- I want to do it again

Owen- It dont blow down

Olivia- not by the hair on my chinny chin chin

Licolin- My turn

Kevin- It blow down
