I tried something new this week and made a "movie" out of Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel. (Click on the book to go to the video!)
While listening to the story, my students examined the illustrations to see the differences between urban and rural life.
We also read City Mouse-Country Mouse, an Aesop's fable, whose moral reminds us that there's "no place like home". We compared the two mice and added the characteristics to our chart from Mike Mulligan.
My kindergarteners showed me the difference between "urban" and "rural" through folding a paper and drawing two pictures showing the country and the city.
