Following on from our work last week on bucket filling, today we read “The Crayon Box That Talked” by Shane DeRolf. It is all about some crayons that don’t get along. A little girl draws a picture with them and they begin to see that even although they are all unique they can work together to make beautiful pictures.

We discussed how to be kind to others in class and worked in teams to decorate individual jigsaw pieces to make into a group picture. We decided a good team should listen to each other, use kind words, share materials and talk when it’s your turn.

It was tricky but we all worked well together in our teams. Do you like our jigsaws?
