Little Red Hen......friends help continued....

The Vote: will you share or not share the bread?
The story of the Little Red Hen is a simple yet it raises thought provoking questions about the expectations in friendship.

Should friends always help and share with one another? 

After reading and dramatizing the story, I asked the children how it makes them feel when someone helps them and how it feels when they help someone.  They all agreed that helping makes everyone feel happy and good about themselves.

What if friends don't help? What will happen?

Nico: I will get mad
Matthew: well...it's going to be too hard

Using the story as our example the children observed that the Hen felt sad and tired because she was doing all the work.  Also, because of that, Nico felt that the hen should not share any of the bread because  "She made it herself!"  while the rest of the children felt it's ok to share because it's a kind thing to do.

Together we made blueberry pie from scratch. Since everyone in the group helped out they all felt (even Nico) that it's best to share our pie with all of the children at Creative Minds.

Yummy blueberries!
