In today's story the main character plans to bake a cake and eat it all.
"That's not generous." said William
The character was home alone, can you still be a generous person even when there's no one around to share with? The children all thought yes. At the end of the story more friends come requesting cake, the pig says yes and comments on how it feels nice to share.
The story provided the children an opportunity to practice number recognition as the rhymes counts to twenty. I read the story again and the children took turns finding the numbers 1 to 20 and lined them up in a number line. Most of the children recognized 1 through to 10 but it would seem that most need more practice recognizing 11 to 20.
Sharing does feel nice. I suggested that we bake a cake like the pig did in the story and all agreed. Who will we share it with? Everyone agreed to share it will all the children and so they made a poster and an announcement. A child from another group came to me and said "They're being generous."
