Read together
In a workshop full of tools,
There's so much to learn for little mules.
Isometric shapes are oh so neat,
And coping wood is a handy feat.
The saw blade flashed as it went down,
Cutting through the wood with a satisfying sound.
And when we build a house or shed,
We'll make sure it's well insulated.
A flush finish makes it look so fine,
But a beveled edge adds a special shine.
We must be careful, that's for sure,
To avoid inflammable materials for sure.
And if we need a corner smooth,
A chamfered edge will do the move.
So let's have fun with all these skills,
And see what we can create with drills and drills!
Talk about it
Reflection
Here are a few questions that could help kids think about the story:
- What do you think the hikers were thinking and feeling when they first realized they were lost?
- How did the hikers work together to try to find their way back to civilization?
- What are some things that the hikers did right when they were lost, and what are some things they could have done better?
- What did the hikers learn from this experience?
- Have you ever been lost or felt disoriented in a new place? How did you feel, and what did you do?
