SYLVESTER AND THE MAGIC PEBBLE (STEIG)
Vocabulary: pebble
special
ceased
dreadful
safe
Art: paint a "magic" pebble
Activities: Make a feelings chart/poster (have child draw faces that correlate with feeling)
Take a walk, stop by a tree/rock and talk about what it would say/feel
Outreach: learn/discuss community helpers, 911
Math: perform patterns, similar/different, size concepts with various "magic" pebbles

You can be as creative as you would like with this one....I am going to focus my discussions primarily on what
was brought up in the book, but feel free to go further with other emotions or community helpers.
