Story clues
Sample
The children saw a big elephant. Cao Chong had an idea: use a boat, waterline and stones. Then Bob had an easier way: use a weighbridge. Cao Chong said, “That’s a better way.” Jingjing had the easiest way: point at the elephant with something. They said they would keep learning and trying. We always do things better and better.
Think and share
Whose way do you like best to tell an elephant’s weight? Why?
Why did the children have different ideas?
What does the story tell us?
I like Cao Chong’s way because it’s clever and doesn’t need modern tools. / I like Bob’s way because it’s easier. / I like Jingjing’s way because it’s the easiest.
Because they kept thinking and learning from each other. Each idea made things better.
It tells us we should keep learning and trying. We can always do things better and better.
