However, there are other hungry animals who turn out to enjoy the food, and they have a plan too.]]> 2017-11-17 01:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207955679 vr32485p https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207956063 "Those Darn Squirrels" expresses problem solving to students. When things don't go Old Man Fookwire's way he devises a plan to fix it, and the squirrels come up with a plan of their own too. It also covers topics such as hobbies, friendship, and loneliness. ]]> 2017-11-17 01:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207956063 vr32485p https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207957246 One way to incorporate this lesson is to have the students write in their journal about a time that things didn't go their way. Ask them to write about, how they responded to the situation? What did they learn from the situation? How will they handle situations similar in the future? ]]> 2017-11-17 01:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207957246 vr32485p https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207958005 After reading the story, reread it again but stop when either Old Man Fookwire or the squirrels come to a problem. Ask questions such as, what is the squirrels problem here? How did they resolve it?]]> 2017-11-17 01:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207958005 vr32485p https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207958726 Relating this story to an Engineers lesson is a great idea. After explaining what an engineer is have the students think about whether they think Old Man Fookwire is an engineer. Engineer's solve problems, which is what Old Man Fookwire and the squirrels did throughout the story!  You can include anchor charts and worksheets ]]> 2017-11-17 01:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/207958726 vr32485p https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/208532112 2017-11-19 21:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/208532112 vr32485p https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/208532329 2017-11-19 21:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/208532329 vr32485p https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/208532490 2017-11-19 21:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/vr32485p/i10bjxz15t42/wish/208532490
