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 does ‘Wiggly 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.
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.
