The week before Fall Break was a very busy week in our classroom. One story that we read was The Ugly Duckling (the animal friendly version of course in honor of Mrs. Stowe)! :-) Many of our students had never heard this story before and seemed to really enjoy it! After reading the story, we discussed the characters and setting of the story. Then, we decided to create our own version of the setting (the pond)! The first page of our story gave a very detailed description of the setting. Therefore, we used this description to create a similar representation!
First, we had to paint our ponds!
Next, we added some greenery!
Then, we had to add pictures of the animals that we read about in the story!
We added some plastic wrap to make our pond look more real!
The last step was to add our duck's nest with the six eggs that we read about. Five of the eggs looked the same. The sixth egg was a little different. That was the one that the ugly duckling hatched from!
Below are pictures of our final products!
Our students seemed to really enjoy this story and activity. They learned a lot and worked very hard! We were very proud of them!
