The Dog and his Reflection

Today's Mother Goose Time topic was The Dog and his Reflection.  I actually saved this topic and used it the day we brought our new puppy home.  Obviously the kids only wanted to play with the puppy, not "do school."
Luckily the puppy napped quite a bit so we were able to get some of it done.
 We talked about when and for what we should be thankful for.  Addie was thankful to have a new puppy.  We listed to the fable on the provided CD while following along in the book.
We talked about what makes a dog happy and sad and also read a book on how dogs  communicate with body language.  The girls made their own dog masks.
Then they took turns hiding their dog bone and finding the other persons.  They loved this and played it many times before moving on.
We talked about sharing and the girls passed a dog bone back and forth while listening to music.  Whoever had it when the song stopped pretended to eat it.  The best part was sharing the bone with our older dog when we were all done.
