Recently I had another Kindergarten teacher come into my kinder classroom and share this adorable little story with my students. I had never heard it before. OF course, the only copy floating around is a little old and well used. I created this little "book" to make it easier to tell the story for myself and for my students. Now the students can look at the story as I am also making the "cuts" on the Little Orange House. I did not change any of the words in the story. I just made it into an easier to read "book" format. If you haven't tried this with your kiddos, you should. It's adorable. Just make the cuts as you see them in the story. What a surprise at the end! Click on the cover page.

I got this idea from a fellow teacher, but I remade them a little smaller. Click on the Non-Fiction sign for the freebie.
My kinder kiddos love learning about retelling and text to self connections with this story. We do an anchor chart where students share things they are afraid of (just like Mummy). After we brainstorm, students write/ draw their own text to self connection. The second page is what I use to help students in their story retell. We put them on sentence strips. I have them work in partners to retell. Then ask for "helpers" to retell to the class.
The following pages are used with Pete the Cat and the Missing Cupcakes. I have my students do a "retell" by using things that are and are not in the story. There are 3 pages in all. Two are student copies, the color is for our Anchor Chart. We have been working on Retell, rhyming, and some of our favorite books done by the same Author/Illustrators. Hope you can use these free activities.
