Week 7 of Teaching at home: Tuesday

To go further on the star theme, I selected a Dora Star catching story book they could color.  It was one of those storybooks that you could print off of the nickelodeon website that has a story that you can read afterwards. Here is the link:  http://www.nickjr.com/printables/star-catching-storybook.jhtml .   They liked the activity and were excited to do it, but they kinda ran out of steam on the last 2 pages of the 6 page book.  So it may have been a little bit too long of an activity for them.  If I had it to do again, I think I would have split it up over a few lessons and had them just do a few pages per lesson. 

We also practiced the "Twinkle, Twinkle" Star again today.  At lunch time we ate Star Shaped grilled cheese sandwiches.  I love cookie cutters!!!!

This afternoon when they wake up from nap, we are going to star hitting the letter G stuff.  We will practice writing the letter G on the traceable worksheets and make a giraffe Toilet Paper roll project.  Giraffe TP Roll Project We will discuss Giraffes a bit and talk about how fast they run, how tall they are and how they eat. Here is where I found all the info.  http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/giraffe/?vgnextfmt=printable.  Kaden is obsessed with Giraffes so this should go well.We will probably go on a Giraffe walk around the house, because I really think we could count over 10 giraffes in this house.    We will see if he will try to squeeze into his Giraffe costume from two Halloween's ago.
