Lesson: Investing: is giving something (usually money) towards something else in order to get more back. The first sister in the story was respectful and invested her choice wisely by choosing the smaller pot and gaining everything it offered. Investing wisely is an important lesson when it comes to our decisions and money. It can either mean you gain or lose money every time.
Your Destination: For this project, you will be making a mosaic. This practice investing your time into something that may not look beautiful, to begin with, but in the end, will come together as a picture.
Travel Kit: A piece of paper, scraps of paper/ old magazines, glue
On the Path
Step 1: Think of a scene in the story that you want to make a mosaic of. You can sketch it out beforehand with a pencil.
Step 2: Rip up the pieces of paper into tiny bits. Think about the colors you need for the picture.
Step 3: Now begin gluing the pieces of paper down on the sketch. They can and should overlap and do not have to stay within the lines. The colors do not have to be the same shade either. Blues can be different and used for the same thing.
Step 4: When you are done, hold up the picture to make sure everything is glued down well. You can show the picture to your class or family and explain the scene that you portrayed.
Learn New Vocabulary: Invest, consequences, respect, modesty, wisely
Discussion Questions: Which pot would you have chosen if you were the older sister? What is something you want to invest your money in/ save up for?
