Circle Time:
We read a book Baby Says by John Steptoe in which the whole story is written using only seven words and two children's expressions (baby and brother). Another story, I'll Love You Forever by Robert Munsch the children enjoyed. We talked about how even when the father was older, he was still the "baby" of his mother.

"Uu" Story and Activity: We listened to the story and song about a Puppy named U that said "Uuu" to go Up and asked his uncle, and aunt, who wanted to stay under the umbrella. Finally, his father hears him and lifts him up under the umbrella where he is utterly happy. Children lift arms above their heads and say "U u u." (Uh, uh, uh).

We enjoyed coloring and cutting out our own Puppy Family and gluing them onto Popsicle sticks to preform a play for us!
