Sally ordered
some soft and comfy purple socks. At first the socks were way
too small, but they began to GROW until they were perfect. The
problem was that they kept on growing! As they continued to
grow, Sally used them as a hat and scarf, curtains, blanket,
a rug, and then a circus tent. What would Sally do if they kept
on growing? What would YOU do?
Sally's silly
dilemma will ignite creative thinking, problem solving, and
laughter in your classroom. It might even inspire students to
take a close look at their own clothes and recall funny things
that have happened to them!

Billy
& Milly, Short & Silly
introduces the concept of story through 13 short rhyming stories
about two friends. Some of the stories are four words long;
some, only three. Words within each story rhymes, so you have
13 sets of rhyming words that produce a story through word families!
Simple cartoon illustrations provide the clues necessary to
understanding the stories and the inherent humor. Because of
the ingenious simplicity, these stories are not just silly but
provide a perfect for beginning understandings of story map..."somebody,
wanted, but, so." (MacOn, Bewell & Vogt,
1991)

"I
think it's a brilliant thing for a child to sense that adults
are actually on the frontier of their own unknown. Not only
that, but that they are there in a joyful way. They aren't feeling
diminished because they don't have all the answers--they are
actually looking to some horizon that is giving them a grand
vista. Children can feel this in a palatable way." From
Cultivating Imagination in Children |
