Well, this book took us a little longer than anticipated to get through. I blame the gorgeous weather and us just wanting to enjoy the outdoors! :) Whatever the reason, we finished and it was fun! This book really is a good one! Fun to read!
Read "Caps for Sale" every day
Watched the animated story telling on YouTube
Read some complimentary books from the library
We had some alphabet letter upper and lower case matching letter cards with monkeys on them that we used multiple times to keep working on letter recognition (not her favorite) ... I just didn't take a picture of them
We made a mustache on a stick like the peddler in the book. Ember was a little frightened by this... so I used it :)
We "stacked our caps" like in the book using a kabob stick in a play dough base. Then ate it of course!
I laminated pictures of items from the book and cut them up to create smaller puzzles for Ember to work on (forgot a picture of this too)
We stacked the caps on the monkeys head in the same order the caps were stacked on the peddler's head in the book.,
We played "Monkey See Monkey Do" (no picture since I was busy playing!!) She really enjoyed this game!
Ember practiced her counting skills by counting out the number of coins written on the back of each hat she wanted to buy from the tree.She did surprisingly well with this!
We made Chocolate Dipped Bananas for a special treat. YUM! YUM!
The fun times continue with Tot School! I am planning to get in a few more books before Baby Brother makes his appearance!!
What a fun unit!! Love the picture of you with the mustache! Glad you enjoyed it!! haha!! Glad Ember did so well with counting the coins!! That is great!! Fun to see them catch on to new concepts! Those banana's look delicious!!! :)
