Welcome to Story Time!

Hi there! I’m Ryan Lagod, and I’m Craig Tovy. We’re so happy you’re here with us for Story Time! Today, we’re going to read a super fun book called “We Don’t Eat Our Classmates” by Ryan T. Higgins. Are you ready to join us on this adventure? Let’s dive in!

Meet Penelope the Dinosaur

In our story, we meet a little dinosaur named Penelope. Penelope is very excited because it’s her first day of school. But guess what? Penelope has a little problem. She thinks her classmates look very tasty! Oh no, Penelope! We don’t eat our classmates!

Learning to Make Friends

Penelope learns that eating her classmates is not a good idea if she wants to make friends. Instead, she discovers that being kind and playing together is much more fun. Penelope learns how to share, take turns, and say sorry when she makes a mistake. Isn’t that a great way to make friends?

Fun Lessons from the Story

This story teaches us some important lessons. We learn that it’s important to be nice to others and treat them the way we want to be treated. We also learn that everyone can be a friend if we give them a chance. Just like Penelope, we can all learn to be better friends every day!

Let’s Talk About It!

After reading the story, let’s think about some fun questions. What would you do if you were Penelope? How can you be a good friend to your classmates? Can you think of a time when you helped someone feel better? Talking about these questions can help us understand the story even more!

Time for a Fun Activity!

Now, let’s do a fun activity! Draw a picture of Penelope and her friends playing together. What games do you think they like to play? Use lots of colors and make your picture as bright and happy as you can!

We hope you enjoyed Story Time with us today. Remember, being kind and making friends is always the best choice. See you next time for another exciting story!

  1. What do you think Penelope felt on her first day of school? Can you remember your first day at school and how you felt?
  2. Penelope learned that being kind and playing with others is important. What are some ways you can show kindness to your friends at school?
  3. Have you ever helped someone feel better when they were sad or upset? What did you do, and how did it make you feel?
  1. Friendship Bracelet Craft: Let’s make friendship bracelets to remind us of the importance of being kind and making friends. Use colorful beads and string to create a bracelet for yourself and one for a friend. As you make the bracelets, think about what makes a good friend and how you can be a good friend to others. Share your bracelet with someone special and tell them why you appreciate them.

  2. Role-Playing Game: Let’s pretend to be Penelope and her classmates. Take turns acting out different scenarios where you can practice being a good friend. For example, what would you do if someone was feeling sad? How can you include someone who is playing alone? This activity helps us understand how to be kind and supportive in real-life situations.

  3. Observation Walk: Go on a short walk around your school or neighborhood with a teacher or parent. Look for examples of people being kind and friendly to each other. Can you spot someone helping a friend, sharing, or playing nicely together? Talk about what you see and how it makes you feel. This will help you notice and appreciate kindness in everyday life.
