Observed Episode
In this photo, the children were acting out a story they have
listened to. The book is called "The Tug of War." The quietest
children were picked to play the turtle, elephant, and the hippo. I
couldn't get my phone to take a broad enough picture to get the
hippo in the shot, too, unfortunately. The children understand the
story better when it is acted out, and the story has a great moral.
The hippo and elephant will not be the turtle's friend because he
is small and weak, but the turtle is wiser than both the large
animals.
In this picture, Parker is playing the turtle, and Taylor is
playing the elephant. The children that are not acting are sitting
on the carpet, and they were all entertained and engaged.
Listening to the story, the children probably did not understand it
as well as after they acted it out. At the end of the story, the
elephant and the hippo allow the turtle to be their friend, even
though he is not strong. That is a good message for pre-K
children.
