Day 4:

Sing: Pink and Purple

Read Pinkalicious or other book on Pink.

Read: Lilys Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes.

What rule did Lily break? Why did she break it? Why was Lily mad at her teacher?How did her feelings towards her teacher change when she got home? DO you

think Lily will make the same mistake in the future?

Students will make retelling cards using the words first, then, next, and last. Have

students retell the story using the story cards. Students will then make their

own purse to carry the cards and movie star glasses to act like Lilly. Discuss

the different ways Lilly felt during the story and how her feelings changed.

Encourage students to use the following ideas as they complete their

writing/drawing on 3 x 5 index cards.

First Lily took her purple plastic purse to school with coins and glasses in it. (picture

of purse, glasses and coins)

Then, Lily is noisy and her teacher takes her purse. (purse on teachers desk)

Nest, Lily is mad and draws a mean picture. (picture)

Finally, after finding a note from her teacher, Lily says she is sorry and gives the

teacher a snack. (bag of cheese balls).You can differentiate this by the amount of writing or drawing you have students do

desired tape purple yarn to the sides to make a strap.
