Book Of The Week: There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Chick

There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Chick by Lucille Colander


As I was finishing up with progress reports, grades, and end of trimester "fun" this week, I nearly forgot to find a book to post about this week.  (I was also getting ready to pack up my things for the week to get ready for spring break!  Maybe that was the real reason I nearly forgot!)  My colleague asked if I would make another sequencing activity this week for the book There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Chick, and I jumped at the opportunity.  Thanks for saving me, Denise!

Summary:
Like all of the books, absurdities happen in the life of the old lady with an end result that always seems to turn out on the upside.

Vocabulary:
awe - amazement
beg - to ask for something
jazz up - to make something more interesting
handy - useful

Questions:
What time of year is it?  How do you know?
How do you think the chick felt before the old lady swallowed it?
What would happen if you ate as much as candy as the old lady?
What happened at the beginning of the story?
What happened in the middle of the story?
What happened at the end of the story?
What holiday is being celebrated?

Ready for your free sequencing activity?  Check it out here!
