Ladybugs and "The Little Red Hen"

What's happening here?  Lots of learning!  Working together,  measuring, pouring, sorting and classifying; it's all good!

This week we have been reading "The Little Red Hen".  If you haven't had a chance to read that story in a while, take a look at it.  It is a real moral dilemma for young children.  In the story, the hen does all the work while the other characters don't want to help.  When the bread is ready for eating, everybody is ready to help with the eating but the hen won't share.  The kids are divided on whether the hen should share or not.  It's a great conversation starter!
