Tractors

We've been loving this months Mother Goose Time theme, down on the farm.

I read the I Can Read book to Elli.  She used the sight word pointers to find the words on the pages.  She also used the cube cards to match up words.  This is great literacy practise for her.  It's a great way to familiarize her with the shape of words.

For today's inspiration to create Elli was given a tractor picture to look at.  She also got paper, paint, a cardboard tube, and foam.  She put the foam on the tube and pretended it was a tractor tire.  She had fun rolling it in the paint and making tracks.

Elli's favorite thing we did today was playing the game tractor pull.  I put blocks on numbered lines.  I would call out a number and she would pretend to be a tractor collecting the block food and putting it all in a basket.
