Mathematical Concepts and Language:
Questioning:

- sorting, graphing
Before:
- What do you think this story is about?
- What might happen in this book?
During:
- Pg 1: Sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast: what is the chance (probability) that this would happen? (always, sometimes, never) - could stop a few times through the story with this prompt
After:
- Chart with Always, Sometimes, Never: provide pictures or statements and children can sort/graph the ideas (students can then generate their own ideas)
