The Tortoise and the Hare

Our second classic story was The Tortoise and the Hare.  Unfortunately I really didn't like any of the versions that we had here at the library.  Instead I ended up reading "Hurry Up and Slow Down" which is a Tortoise and the Hare story but definitely not the traditional one.  We also watched the movie of Chicken Little on the Smart Board which kids really liked.

Our craft was to make turtles.  The kids all decorated
their tortoises in different colorful ways.  

The kids liked this book, though many of them obviously
came from health conscious families since they were horrified
by all the junk the Boars were eating!

This was our main story as well as the one I made a felt board for.  

We have three strawberries, a tea cup, a lettuce leaf, a book, a river
with stone, a hare and a tortoise.
