The Little Red Hen

Developmental Focus: Literacy 

Nested Skills: Social and Emotional Development

Length of Lesson: Approximately 30 Minutes each day for one week or upon the attention span of the group of children

Goals/Objectives:

By the end of the week the children should be able to identify what is used to make bread, who made the bread and how they get bread to others. The children will get to interact and learn the role of having their own bakery and this will improve their skills of working as a group. Some of the goals include learning how to make bread, how to measure the ingredients, and to give them a since of how to use money. How to work together as a group and how to interact in a group.

Standards Included: http://www.tn.gov/education/article/early-learning-development-standards

Materials:

The Little Red Hen by Jean Horton Berg

Baking tools including mixing bowls of varying sizes, measuring spoons and cups, baking sheets, bread loaf pans and big wooden spoons. Packages of flour, sugar, salt, wheat, butter containers, milk containers, aprons, tablecloth, napkins. Scissors, markers, farm animals, farm tools, and puppets.

Introduction:

As the week begins I will place items around the classroom that goes along with the story. During this time, we will go over what is the beginning, the middle and the end of the book. We will also talk about how the books is made and who wrote the book. I will continue to ask open ended questions to see how much they have learned as the time goes by.

Lesson Development:

I will read the book, “The Little Red Hen” three times during the week. We will then talk about how the hen made the bread and who helped her. We would also talk about which children would want to help the hen themselves and what they would do. As the week progressed we would add puppets and farm animals to the learning areas.  We would add some of our materials to the sensory bin as we learn how the materials feel.

Differentiation:

As the children start to work together on their new project of baking bread I will help create groups. I will have Jack and Maya gather ingredients for the bread and I will help them make it. The decorating the table for the bakery and the menu cards will be done by Kayla and Johnny. Jane and Caleb will need to work together on who will receive the money from the customers and the other one will need to help the customers as they arrive. Each child will have the opportunity to switch roles.

Post Assessment:

I will monitor the children and take notes as they are interacting. We will talk about the story and see how we can change things to make our own story. As we re-read the story and the interactions, they should have a better understanding of the story. At the end of the week we will use snack time to taste our bread and talk about how we made it. Throughout the week, they will learn how to work together as a team. I will also write down my observations to track their progress.

Management and Guidance:

As the teacher, I will praise the children for their work and remind them of how well they worked together. If we have any differences, then we will talk about how to overcome those obstacles. If needed I will guide them in the right direction. If someone is getting bored with their job or seem interested in something else, then I will encourage them to switch jobs as needed. We may even switch partners to see how someone may work with someone else. We will stay on track and stay positive. The children will learn responsibility which will carry on as they grow up.

How I will meet the needs of the children

In the beginning of the story, the hen prepares to plant the wheat without the help of any of the other animals. Jonny will help in the collection of the materials, which is wheat, for use in the class. He can also help in developing his literacy skills by reading the story aloud to the class. The curious Maya will pretend to be the hen and thus persuade other animals to join in the work. In the class, Maya will join others in analyzing the story, The Little red Hen. Being a good reader, Maya will also help the class in reading the story. Jane will stick with Maya as we do the teaching. She will be able to understand some aspects from her as we do the reading and analysis of the book. Caleb, being a funny boy will help on demonstrating how the other animals wanted to join the hen in eating bread that they did not make or prepare. Kayla has problems with interaction therefore putting her in a group will help her keep up with the reading. She will be assigned a few pages to read so that she bolsters her skills. Finally, Jack will help in the defiant part. The hen asks the other animals to join her in eating but defiantly declines. He will also have to take part in the reading of the book.
