#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Today‘s haiku is inspired by me going outside tonight to pick up my mail & take out my trash. A pretty night, very breezy. I didn‘t take this picture but it suites it well.🌙
windy night, sliver
of pale moon shyly peeking
palm fronds wave goodnight

“Chicken,” said Papa, “you interrupted the story. Try not to get so involved.”
I can use this story to teach my students about the importance of being patient and listening to each other when we are talking. I can explain that when we are reading a story or are talking to one another, we need to be active listeners because that is the respectful way to act. Then, I can discuss that it can be frustrating when someone talks over you just like when the red chicken finished the story for papa.
pickThis book is a Caldecott medal winning book published in 2010. This is a story about a chicken who continuously interrupts his father when his father is trying to read him a bed time story. The chicken is always interrupting and cutting the story off before his father can reach the ending of the story. The chickens father gets tired and asks the chicken to tell him a story of his own. The story is so exciting that it puts his father to sleep.
This book would be great for teaching the importance of patience and listening skills in the classroom and everyday life.
