Olivia and Preston yell "Fall!"
Do you like Lollipops?
We enjoyed reading Crictor about a lady who is sent a snake by her son studying reptiles in Africa and send her one for her birthday. Crictor is an amazing snake and becomes a loyal companion for the lady and helps save the town from a thief.Not surprisingly--all students answered "yes" to the above question.
We reviewed the Alphabet (singing, writing, A-L).
Toys: Free play was spent with puzzles, cars, race track, and the Little People village.
Snacks: Peanut Butter crackers, apples slices, and Cheez-It crackers.
We looked at a book on Reptiles and talked about what they remembered from the BYU Monte L. Bean Museum Field Trip. It was fun to see the frilled lizards, the colorful lizards,a nd the purple tongued lizards. We talked about animal defenses, camouflage, habitat, and what made the Reptiles in the book similar and different.
At snack time on Tuesday, the students began doing simple Mathematics with their square crackers...counting up how many they had, adding 2+2, subtracting crackers from their numbers, 2-1, etc.
We enjoyed looking at the pictures and talking about A Snake in the House. In this story, a little boy catches a small snake by a river and brings it home only to have the snake escape it's bottle and roam the house and eventually make it's way back to the river.
We learned about L the lizard who lazily licks a lemon lollipop, "l-l-l" is what she says as she licks.
Arts and Crafts: The children had fun licking lollipops (Dun Dums) while learning to follow directions (color the lizard legs and face green), cut out the L shape, glue and paste onto a colored paper, and tape a lollipop in Lizards mouth. (I thought it was cute that many students told me they were going to give a sibling the extra lollipop).
Recess Time was spent outdoors--chilly but sunny, yea! The children were riding the airplane to "Cowabunga" looking for lizards! We went down through the "jungle" to the deep back yard where the children loved throwing the fallen leaves up in the air and laughing.
