Three Little Pigs Pack - In Action!

I said I would post pictures of my Three Little Pigs Unit, and I have not forgotten.  Yes, they are a little later than I said they would be....but, hey, their still getting posted!  :)

Here are a few of my centers in action:

Sight word game (could also be used as write the room, but I wanted to try it differently - we do a lot of write the room)





Retelling page - students identify the setting, characters, and the beginning, middle, and end.  On the back, they can retell the story in their own words.


This next center is NOT mine, but I found it on Pinterest.  :)  The kids cut out the cards and put them in the correct order to help them retell the story.







We also did a fun activity.  Since the three little pigs built their houses out of different materials, we built houses out of toothpicks and marshmallows.




It was a lot of fun!  I love reading all of the various versions of the Three Little Pigs.  Throughout the week, we kept an anchor chart up of all the elements of the story and recorded how they were the same or different in each version.  Here is a list of my personal favorite versions:


The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka


The Three Little Wolves and The Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas


The Three Little Pigs by Steven Kellogg

Thanks for being patient with me.  There are a lot of crazy things going on right now, so blogging is not always my top priority.  And when it is, my husband is on the computer working on his thesis....he's almost done though!  :)  Hopefully, soon I will be better about blogging more often!  Have a happy week!
