One of the activities we started last year was having a monthly book theme. We use the book theme to practice various literacy, math, language, vocabulary, and writing skills. We are starting off with the Five Little Monkeys. The first story was Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. I wrote a similar story entitled Five Little Doughnuts Jumping on the Bed, and then had the kids each pick a favorite object or animal that they would like to use to create their own story. We had everything from trains to lizards to grapes. Look for those to come home next week after we have the chance to share them!
Reminder: Curriculum Night is Tuesday. Feel free to visit both your child's general education classroom and stop by 114 as well!
