The Story of Ferdinand Book Plan (Littles, K-3, 1 Week)

Book: The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf

Ferdinand would rather smell the flowers than fight, and this week your child or students find out why that makes him strong.

This five-day Book Plan for grades K to 3 turns Munro Leaf's classic into a full week of 30 to 45 minute lessons. Each day has a simple plan, three original discussion questions and one ready-to-print page. Kids find Spain on a map, write about a favorite quiet place, label a cork oak, test why cork floats, take a flower sniff walk and make a cork stamp meadow. A parent and teacher note helps you talk about the bullring part of the story gently.

Perfect for kindergarten through third grade read-alouds, homeschool families and lessons on kindness and being yourself.
