Our Daily Reading

Our fiction selection for the day is Horton Hatches the Egg by Dr. Seuss. This is one of our favorite Dr. Seuss books. Aside from the obvious entertainment value, Horton reminds us that handwork and dedication are worth the time and effort!

Our non-fiction selection for the day is Baby Elephant Joins the Herd by Ben Richmond. This book follows an elephant from birth to maturity. The photography is framable! 

“E” is for Elephant Letter Craft

Parent Preparation

  • Print 2 copies E is for Elephant Letter Craft from Miss Maren’s Monkeys, on white card stock. You need 2 copies because the E and the ear templates overlap.
  • Cut out E, ear, tail, and trunk templates.
  • On gray or light blue craft paper, trace and cut out templates. 
  • Draw toe nails and tail hairs on with a black pen.
  • Provide a sheet of craft paper, glue stick, and large wiggly eye.

Student Assembly

  • Paste E on craft paper.
  • Paste ear, tail, and trunk in place.
  • Paste wiggly eye in place.
  • Write or ask your grown up to title, name, and date your work, for your homeschool portfolio.

Elephant Size Sorting

Feed the Elephant Counting Mat

Parent Preparation

Our Process

  • Place a number on the counting mat and add that number of peanuts.
  • Check your work, by counting aloud with your grown up.

Love,
