April 8 - Read Aloud - I Love You Blue Kangaroo!

Mrs. Kearney reads I Love You Blue Kangaroo! By Emma

Chichester Clark. Every night Blue Kangaroo falls fast 

asleep, cuddled in Lily's arms. But as new toy animals 

start arriving, Blue Kangaroo worries that there just isn't


enough room for him anymore. 



Talk about the story

The book offers many opportunities for children to

think and talk about their own favorite toys and 

how they feel about them.


Make an informative poster of your favorite toys!  

Include drawings of your favorite toys and describe

them like Lily doesWiggly Green Crocodile’. You can

include a photo of the child with each or his/her  

favorite toys.  Children can describe them and 

write who gave it to them, where they keep it,  

what they like doing together and what 

is special about the toy.



Sing a counting song

Lily ends up with lots of toys in her bed. How many

altogether? Sing the song Ten in a Bed

Practice spelling your number words too!




We sure do enjoy stories that have animal characters. 
Cali’s dad was kind enough to share a story about
pigs in a parade!  A pig parade might sound
like fun, but this book will convince you otherwise.



We may not be able to have an actual pig parade, but
perhaps you would like to make a pig and parade it
around your house!

Wrap 3 toilet paper tubes with pink construction paper,
and use some scraps to make ears and arms.
Use markers for the details.



Once your pig is complete, perhaps you would like
to make a blue kangaroo….try this link!

Be sure to think some good thoughts!


Today’s Chant:
I am loved.
I am kind.

I am awesome.
