Cookies Week by: Cindy Ward and Tomie dePaola  (or any book on cats) 

School started with a fun activity with our white board. I wrote the recent letters we have been working on along with words that started with the letters, and had Colton find the letter or word on the board. When he found the letter or word he had to say the letter and it's sound then he got to erase it. Colton had so much fun that he asked me to play it again. 

Next I talked about the letter "C" and had him help me come up with words that started with C. I made an special effect to point out that his name starts with C. Colton then colored the C is for Cat print out. 

We then read the book Cookies Week by: Cindy Ward and Tomie dePaola. This book is a great book for the little ones to learn about cats.

I found a sleeping cat template from First School that turned out to be a fun craft activity. Since there were many different shapes involved in this craft I used this activity as a review from our shape unit.

I found this cute cat craft project from Danielle Place that I wanted to make today in school but I didn't have the paper plates that were required. I still wanted to share the idea since it is so adorable.

How Much is That Doggie in The Window?

Colton has started going to my mom's preschool one day a week. Their theme this week is also Pets. Today they learned about dogs.

They made dog ears out of foam by cutting two long half crescent shapes for the ears and stapled a band to fit around the head.

The cutest doggie I've ever seen!

My mom made a window by cutting the middle out of a piece of construction paper and laminating it. They took a picture of them as a doggie in the window and sang:

How Much is That Doggie in the Window?

How much is that doggie in the window?

the one with the waggly tail

woof woof woof

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie if for sale.

Woof Woof Woof

Step 1: Mix 1 part karo syrup and 3 parts paint in a bowl

Step 2: Paint the fish with the paint mixture.

  

Step 3: Sprinkle glitter onto the wet paint.

Step 4: Let dry, then glue the googly eye onto the fish.
