Lessons in Learning

We borrowed two book bags from the Family Resource Center. Each bag comes with a book and puppets/stuffed animal to use as you read the story. We choose The Frog Prince and The Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Hungry Bear. I can't wait to use them.

Language Experience

Today we went to our first Play and Learn Session with Marna Holland at ACS Preschool. It is a seven-week free language based program. We loved it! Some of our activities were:

1.The kids were given 5 alligator finger puppets and we sang "5 Little Alligators Jumping on the Bed." Brooke knew the song and took off her alligator at the correct place in the song; she even sang along!

2. We also sang "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."

3. We danced so some weird song that made us all look silly with the word 'toot" in it - Brooke commented, "You're not supposed to say the word" since "toot" is a potty word in our house! It was great to know that she could hear the words of the recorded song....a good auditory skill that we practice.

4. We watched a puppet show of "3 Billy Goats Gruff" while to story was read - this really held Brooke's interest

5. We also did a baseball craft. This is our baseball craft - lots of baseball vocabulary

Brooke and Kate each picked out a book to bring home - Brooke choose this one
