For our group project we were assigned social skills. We found the book “The Grouchy Ladybug” by Eric Carle. This book is about a Grouchy Ladybug and how he goes through the day trying to pick fights with other insects/animals but always decides that they aren’t big enough to fight. He keeps flying on and then finally ends up back on the same leaf with the Friendly Ladybug and he shares dinner with him. This book incorporates the importance of social skills along with reading time, counting, and more.
To accomplish creating a lesson plan, we met as a group and went through each section of the lesson plan and collaborated. Next, we assigned each group member a task: Ellen- Typing up story and picking animals and bolding them I the story. Michelle- Typing up the lesson plan that the group made. Tiffany- Picking an existing song and creating lyrics that go with the book. Peter- Creating a big clock that students can change the time on.
The most exciting part of the process was seeing the finished project and how everything came together!
Children can benefit from this story/activity/lesson plan because they can learn the importance of being nice and a good friend even if someone is having a bad day, they can learn to read time, counting, and more! Also they can learn to incorporate instruments into the story and associate them with characters. (If the students are more advanced they can learn the value of different notes and how to play the right beats etc.)
