Students will learn to spell and sound out the word pigs.

Materials:

• Book: Pigs by Rozanne Lanczak Williams
• White construction paper with an outline of a pig on it
• Pink paint
• Numbers on little pigs from 1 to 10
• A copy of all the pages below for each child to make a packet for home

Plan:

1. Make a literacy take home packet. On each page of white paper it should have these instructions on the top of each page as listed below.
   • Title Page: Literacy Take Home Activity for Pigs
   • Page 2: Draw a picture of a shoe for your pigs.
   • Page 3: Draw a picture of a door for your pigs.
   • Page 4: Draw a picture with pigs with sticks in their mouths.
   • Page 5: Draw a gate for your pigs.
   • Page 6: Draw a picture of a pig pen for your pigs.

   If you feel this would be too hard for your students make an outline of each of these items for them to color themselves.

2. Have a piece of paper attached to this activity with 15-20 pigs on the page. Just find a picture of a pig in a coloring book or something and shrink it on a copy machine.
3. Number the pigs from 1 to 10 on the pig page they take home.
4. Have the children color their pigs and color all their drawings in the literacy packet and then they can retell the story of Pigs to their family at home!
