Brother and Sisters

This week with Mother Goose Time we're learning all about family.  Today the topic was brothers and sisters.  We talked about the difference between a brother and a sister.  During circle time the girls looked at the monthly theme poster and decided who could be a brother and who could be a sister.
The book for the day was Owl Babies, which we were able to watch on youtube.
After watching the video the girls studied an owl photo ans used the provided materials for their invitation to create.  These are open ended art stations that let the kids use their imaginations.  This is the second one we've done so far and the girls are loving them.  For today they were both given a piece of black paper and then a pile of cotton balls, a paper bag, sticks and some brown paint.  Both girls made their bags into owl puppets.  Addie used sticks to add a nest for her owl.  Elli glued a bunch of cotton balls on her paper and said it was a bonfire to keep her owl puppet warm.  
Next the girls played design a sibling.  They would roll the included cube and then put whatever shape it landed on into the provided magnetic puzzle.
The monthly rhyme time poster was Jack and Jill.  Addie read the poster out loud and Elli worked on identifying words that rhyme.
