4 Food Groups and The Little Red Hen

FOUR FOOD GROUPS AND THE LITTLE RED HEN

We have been learning about each of the 4 food groups in our Food Unit, and used The Little Red Hen as a springboard to the topic.

I gave students grocery store flyers, and they had to find a pictures of  foods for each of the 4 food groups.

We added the pictures to our collaborative anchor chart:

We had a great visit at a dairy farm as we learned about dairy foods

THE LITTLE RED HEN BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

I like to read different versions of  The Little Red Hen when discussing the grains food group.

We did a few fun activities to go along with the story, including a vocabulary word search, story retell, text to self connections, story sequence, opinion pages, writing activities, and more.

This Little Red Hen book study literacy unit has Common Core aligned companion activities, a class book, and two craft options, for Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade. And you can use it with any version of the story!

This book companion will save tons of planning time, is no prep, and is great to leave for a sub!

THE LITTLE RED HEN CHARACTER CARDS

I've included several character cards in the unit, to align with the various versions of The Little Red Hen.

THE LITTLE RED HEN CLASS BOOK

This class book will be a student favorite in your classroom library!

THE LITTLE RED HEN CRAFT

Two different crafts are included in this Little Red Hen book unit. They are great for wrap up activities, and make a cute bulletin board display, to showcase student learning!
