Today I was working with a group of preschoolers. We were doing one of the Matt & Molly Stories - "A Frog in a Tree" (from the Animals pack).
If you saw my Facebook post last week, I had this idea to hang a ribbon from my closet door and attach the pictures from the stories with clothespins. (The story above is "A Rainy Day").
Back to the quote. In "A Frog in a Tree," Molly is eating ice cream when a frog jumps out of a tree and into her ice cream cone! The story explains that Molly is surprised. After telling the story, I took the pictures down and had the children place the cards in the correct sequence. Then I had the kids retell the story. One boy got up and did a fantastic job for most of the story. Here's how it played out:
Boy: Then the frog jumped in the ice cream. The End!
Me: How did Molly feel about that?
Boy: Hungry?
Me: I think the frog was hungry. (Here I did my absolute best "Home Alone" face) Molly felt...
Boy: Crazy!
Thanks kid, lol! He wouldn't be the first to call me crazy or silly, but probably the most memorable! How was your day today?
