Role Play with Silvia Teacher


Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins


Rosie the hen went for a walk
Ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? (Point out where eyes are looking if needed). What do we know about foxes and hens? Make a guess about what the fox wants to do.

across the yard
Ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? Does the fox know that the rake is on the ground? What do we know about can happen if you step on a rake on the ground? Make a guess about what might happen next.

On the next page ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox? Do you think the fox will still try to go after Rosie? (Point out that the fox is still looking and "thinking" about the hen).

around the pond
Ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? Is the fox thinking about the pond? (You can also point out the other animals that are looking at the fox and hen). What do we know about ponds? Make a guess as to what will happen next.

On the next page ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox yet? Do you think the fox will still chase after Rosie? (You can also point out how the other animals have left and ask why).

over the haystack
Ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox yet? What is the fox thinking about? (And other animals if wanted). What do we know about haystacks? Make a guess about what will happen next.

On the next page ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox yet? Do you think the fox will still chase after Rosie?

past the mill
Ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? Does Rosie notice the string on her leg? What do we know that is in a bag that says flour on it? Make a guess about what might happen next.

On the next page ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox yet? Does she know that the flour fell on the fox? (If they say yes remind them that she hasn't thought about the fox yet, so she wouldn't know to try to do something to the fox). Do you think the fox will still chase after Rosie?

through the fence
Ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox yet? Is the fox thinking about the wagons? What do we know about wagons? Make a guess about what will happen next.

On the next page ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox yet? What is the fox thinking about? How is the fox feeling? Where is Rosie starting to walk by? Make a guess about what will happen next.

under the beehives
Ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? How is he feeling? What are the bees thinking about? What do we know about bees? Make a guess as to what will happen next.

On the next page ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? Do you think the fox is going to still chase Rosie?

and got back in time for dinner.
Ask: Did Rosie ever think about the fox? Did she ever know she was in danger? Make a guess as to what she is going to do next. (Refer back to the words that she got back in time for dinner if needed).
Ask the child to retell the story back to you. To help with sequencing print and cut out the pictures for the story and have the child put the pictures in order. The sequencing pictures can be found in our download area.

At 44 on oxygen, because of drugs

If you are an addict, you will do anything for your next fix, and I mean anything, you will beg, borrow, and steal, the main thing to remember is if they don't won't help, you can not help them. I just stopped, no rehab, I just knew it was killing me, that's why I tell people now this zipper [scar] going down the middle of my chest, it's my fault, all the drugs alcohol, this is the results of a so called good time, triple bypass at the age of 44, now I live my life on oxygen, and it's hard to even take a shower.

National Red Ribbon Week


Red Ribbon Week, a national drug prevention observance reaching millionsof youth, is almost here. There are countless opportunities fororganizations such as yours to participate and conduct activities thatraise awareness about the tragic consequences of underage alcohol use.Help prevent underage drinking today and encourage youth to live ahealthy, alcohol-free lifestyle.
Underage drinking prevention materials to support the 2009 Red RibbonWeek <http://www.stopalcoholabuse.gov/RedRibbonWeek/index.htm>observance are available.
Why Be Concerned With Underage Alcohol Use1
* In 2008, about 10.1 million persons aged 12 to 20 (26.4 percentof this age group) reported drinking alcohol in the past month. * Approximately 6.6 million (17.4 percent) were binge drinkers,and 2.1 million (5.5 percent) were heavy drinkers. * A majority of current underage drinkers in 2008 reported thattheir last use of alcohol in the past month occurred either in someoneelse's home (56.2 percent) or their own home (29.6 percent). * The good news is that the rates for current and binge alcoholuse are lower than they were in 2007, when they were 27.9 and 18.6percent, respectively. Rates of current, binge, and heavy alcohol useamong underage persons declined between 2002 and 2008. Current usedropped from 28.8 to 26.4 percent; binge use declined from 19.3 to 17.4percent; and heavy use declined from 6.2 to 5.5 percent.
However, there is still work to be done-alcohol continues to affect toomany of our youth. Underage alcohol use contributes to risky behaviorssuch as violence and drunk driving as well as poor academic performance.Youth who use alcohol before age 15 are 5 times more likely to becomealcohol dependent than adults who began drinking at age 21 and are atmuch higher risk for serious health consequences as adults.
We can prevent the enormous toll that alcohol takes on our society-starttalking to your children about the consequences of underage alcohol usebefore they start drinking.

Autism child, Pam and Buffy fan.

Hi Pam and Buffy, I have a 16 year son with autism who is a big fan of Pam and Buffy. Sometimes it is hard to know exactly what it is that grabs, his attention but you certainly do! I would love to have the opportunity for him to meet you both or see one of your shows. Could you give me some information regarding your schedule? We have pictures from a performance you did at American Adventures for his sister 10 years ago and he studies the pictures over and over again. Thank you for your time!
