picture book ninja pages home reviews awards honors monday september 12 2016 what about moose teamwork challenge what about moose is a story about building planning teamwork and problem solving it takes a team to build a tree house but what if that team includes one very bossy moose who is not a good team player read the story and then challenge your students to work as a team to build a pyramid out of cups the catch no one is allowed to touch the cups directly with their hands or any part of their body i discovered this activity when miss stickley posted about it on twitter her third grade class worked in teams manipulating the cups with strings and a rubber band it looked like so much fun that i googled it and found that there are many variations of this challenge it is an exercise in communication and cooperation you can find a formal lesson plan here here and here i can t wait to try this activity with a group of kids posted by corey schwartz at 12 15 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday may 17 2016 hensel gretel ninja chicks what the kids had to say first there was a persistent pig with a perfect pork chop then there was a capable kid with kick butt karate skills and now there is a plucky pair of poultry out to save their parents what are kids saying about the third book in the ninja trilogy mollee branden a librarian in nc shared a preview of hensel gretel with her first graders and here are their responses out in stores one week from today ki ya posted by corey schwartz at 8 16 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday april 5 2016 ninjify a fairy tale after reading ninja red riding hood second grade book ninjas at forest lake elementary school ninjfied their own fairy tales i am so impressed with their covers aren t they awesome ki ya fairy tales are fantastic mentor texts it can be very daunting to try to create a story entirely from scratch taking a familiar story with existing characters plot etc and just changing one element i e setting is a much more manageable task long before i ever heard the term fractured fairy tales i was writing my own versions of popular books in second grade i wrote my own sequels to curious george and to the cat in the hat boy do i wish my mom had saved those i also wrote my own nancy drew mystery i needed a formula to follow fairy tales and or books in a series are perfect for providing that framework if you d like to try this activity with your students here is template you can print out to help them get started posted by corey schwartz at 2 37 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday march 15 2016 what about moose story time stem challenges i did my first stem story time at a local library recently and it was so much fun the featured book was what about moose which is about a bossy moose who is a building a tree house with friends moose appoints himself foreman and is so busy giving orders that he does not realize that he is getting himself into a pickle his friends try to warn him but he insists that the walls go up and it is only after the roof goes on that moose realizes he is stuck inside luckily his friends do some creative thinking and come to his rescue since this story is about building planning teamwork and problem solving it seemed like a perfect fit for some engineering challenges i found dozens of wonderful stem projects online and chose two of my favorites to try with this library group 4 engineering challenges for kids cups craft sticks and cubes and marshmallow towers marshmallows and toothpicks both are easily adaptable for kids of all ages i gave everyone a plastic yellow construction hat and they got right to work building their structures at the end of the hour no one was ready to go home my co author becky gomez came up with her own list of book related stem challenges to try with kids if you have a suggestion for a stem activity that would tie in with what about moose we would love to hear it happy reading and building posted by corey schwartz at 2 39 pm
