This class will focus on helping students recognize that losing things or toys is a normal problem. We will learn that you can solve this problem by using a strategy and staying persistent. 
As we introduce ourselves to each other we will also tell a short story about something we have lost. Teacher and students will tell about an item they have lost, why they really wanted to find it, how they went about searching for it and if they ever found it. 
After introductions and building common experience, the teacher will read the self-published book, ‘That’s Where it’s At!’ As we read the book, we will relate to and act out the character’s journey to find their lost blue truck. 
After reading the book, we will take turns talking about what we thought the character did well and what things we might do differently. 
As a group we will build a 4 part strategy to help us search for a missing item. 
*Where should it be?  - look where you had it last. 
*Where could it be? -come up with an idea of a new place to look. 
*Where would it be? -if it was put away.
*Where might it be? - if it was moved by someone else.  
As a group develop a chant or song to help us remember the 4 part strategy.
