Roar!

Size of the problem is a reoccurring theme for all first graders! It's so hard to keep their little bodies under control when we have so much learning to do! They always keep tabs on each other.  Sometimes it can be a good thing, sometime not.

Today we read the story: Ravi's Roar by Tom Percival. This is a book about a boy's reaction to certain problems.  He turns mouse size problems into elephant. 

We review mouse, dog, and elephant size problems.  We discuss how Ravi's reactions were to elephant size problems, but they weren't. We then discuss his behavior might be a little embarrassing because he is overreacting.
