April 10-13

Charlene Clark has totally captured the attention of the children as she reads the book
The Three Little Rigs by David Gordon
Charlene showed the children how David piggybacked his story from the story of the
Three Little Pigs. Then children all illustrated a cover for a book.
The Three Little _______ and The ________________.
The illustrations were amazing! Charlene will be back to pick them up tomorrow.

7 Up - try to get all your cards in sequence first. The purple cards
are magic and can be used for any number you wish.
The children really enjoy this activity and it is great for number recognition,
moving from left to right just like when you read, cooperation, turn-taking and fun too!

Roll the cube of letters. Record the letter that is on the top.
Which letter will race to the finish line?
Letters, fine motor, cooperation and fun!

Gone Buggy! Roll the dice, put that number of bugs on your jar.
If you roll the fly swatter remove one bug, if you roll the bug spray
remove all your bugs. Record how many bugs you have on
you jar at the end of the game!

Kanga has letters in her pouch and each child draws out a letter. If you
recognized the letter you hold onto it. If you got a card that said "gotcha"
all your letters had to go back into Kanga's pouch!

Taller, shorter and almost the same.
We discovered that Conner is the tallest, Carley is the shortest
in the class and many other children are almost the same.
The children also collected items that were taller than, shorter than and
almost the same and recorded their findings.

A drew eyeballs like the earth for her creation!
Wonderful imagination!
