Dem Bones

Dear Sis,

We’ve been chatting with our old Texas neighbors David and Merrill because they are planning a visit to the area at the end of the month. I sent pictures of William doing his dinosaur dig. In response, David suggested Cheetos bag of bones as a fun snack.

I picked some up at the grocery store Thursday, so we had them today as part of lunch. I sent a picture to David and Merrill. David suggested the Dem Bones Song.

William liked the song so well, we listened to it three times! Technology is amazing. It’s cool that our Texas friends can still be part of our lives from over a thousand miles away!

Love,

Dear Sis,

Our Daily Reading

Our non-fiction selection is from the Cat in the Hat Learning Library collection: Who Hatches the Egg? by Tish Rabe. This book has great content, written in verse, and even follows a chick embryo through its stages of development.

Our fiction selection for today is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. Sam-I-am might be a nuisance, but he reminds us we don’t know if we like something until we try it!

Green Eggs Shape Mat

Print Green Eggs Shape Matching Mat from AUThentic Creation’s Teachers Pay Teachers account, on white card stock. Place shape mat in a page protection, and cut out and laminate shapes, for durability.

Green Eggs & Ham Alphabet Cards

Print Green Eggs and Ham Letter Match Game by The Cozy Red Cottage, on white card stock. Cut out and laminate for durability.

These game is designed for kids who are learning to match upper case and lower case letters. William is not at that point yet. He is still learning his alphabet. We started our lesson, by singing through the alphabet song a few times together. Then we used the upper case cards as flash cards. I told him letter names and a few words that start with that letter and he repeated the information back to me while studying the card.
