Character Rhymes

This week with Mother Goose Time has focused on character rhymes:  Humpty Dumpty, There was a Crooked Man, Itsy, Bitsy Spider, Hey Diddle Diddle and Old King Cole.  

The girls did lots of literacy work this week.  Addie read the I Can Read book to Elli, while Elli worked on finding the sight words in the book.  They did some pages in the my little journals, looked at letter cards to determine which ones were straight versus crooked, used wikki sticks to make straight and crooked letters, and also used the shape stamp from this months box while writing post cards.  They played a game where they would roll the cube and then jump over the letter that matched the cube card or sound.  Elli also played a game where she would find a picture that matched the sound she rolled on the cube and stick it to her tape spider web.

Elli used the shape beads, one of the manipulatives in this months box, on the shape creation mats.  She also used them to make different shapes in play dough.

Every monthly box comes with a new cardboard puzzle.  Elli loves doing these.

We talked about finding the shortest distance between two places.  

And of course the girls made lots of art.  Spider web pictures, wire sculptures, broken egg pictures, crowns, and spoon men.  Next week will focus on food rhymes.
