"Mrs. Wishy Washy" | Picture Book Study

Bring the fun tale of Mrs. Wishy Washy and her messy farm animals to life with this engaging picture book study. With over 40 activities for early elementary learners, this resource transforms a cute story into cross-curricular learning.

Through puzzles, mazes, sequencing tasks, and art projects, students will love learning about Mrs. Wishy Washy and her determined pigs, cows, and ducks. Worksheets, writing templates, and imaginative drawing prompts build literacy skills as emerging readers trace letters, match vocabulary to images, complete sight word activities, and invent their own farm stories.

This story-themed content keeps students engaged while reinforcing early math concepts like ordinal numbers, patterns, sorting, and spatial navigation. Sequencing strips challenge learners to place story events in logical order. Sorting tasks require analyzing categories like farm animals, cleaning objects, and parts of a book. Completing mazes, dot-to-dots, and tracing activities helps with the development of fine motor dexterity.

Open-ended questions and writing pennants promote higher-order thinking by encouraging students to make text-to-self connections. Comparing fictional events to real-world science helps students understand how soap enables cleaning. This interdisciplinary approach ensures well-rounded comprehension.

With differentiated materials, this study provides the just-right amount of support and challenge. Teachers can further adapt activities based on individual needs. Enjoy!!
