Play With Me

Our row this week is entitled Play With Me.  It is about a little girl who goes to the pond to play with the animals.  Because she is too loud they all run away.  But once she learns to site quietly, she finds she is able to get a few playmates!

Abby really has been learning her colors!  So I gave her this fun ducky activity.  She was able to correctly match most of the ducks to the colored word...although she was clueless about "teal".  

William worked on a fun froggie math mat.  He had to correctly match the number with the correct number of frogs in the square.

He colored a duck picture.  He's not a huge fan of coloring, but if he can paste it to construction paper and add clouds...he's all over it!

 Since our book was about a little girl playing by a pond, we took a visit to a local lake, which in my opinion turned out to be more of a pond.  Abby dragged along her purse, of course.

 We went on a nature hike.  We didn't find any animals except snake holes and a few ducks. 

 So I took them to a pet store that had EVEY animal imaginable!  It was such a cool store.  From baby chicks to tortoises, they had it all.

Abby will only color when William is coloring.  I guess coloring doesn't have the same appeal as it did awhile back. 

He learned about the life cycle of a frog.  We will be coming back to this later, when we get a habitat set up for tadpoles. 

We continued our animal classification cards, however these cards were more fun, since they included a riddle about each animal.  William had fun matching the clues to the correct animal.

We are by no means done with this topic/unit.  We will be continuing with this next week.
