Dear Sis,
Our Daily Reading
Today’s first non-fiction selection is My Eyes by Lloyd G. Douglas. This book is simplifies the sense of sight in to a quick and easy read.
Today’s second non-fiction selection is Tell Me Why I Need Glasses by Jennifer Colby. William is curious about glasses. I wear them all the time, but daddy only wears his for work and occasionally at home when he has a lot of reading to do. This book explains why some people wear glasses from a child’s world view.
Alien Eye Counting Cards
Parent Preparation
- Print 2 sets of Alien Eye Counting Cards by Sandbox Academy. The set only includes 0-5, so I printed two sets and whited out the numbers on the second set, so I could hand write 6-10. Cut out and laminate for durability
- Melissa and Doug Numeral Puzzle
- Provide assorted wiggly eyes.
Our Process
- Match alien numbers cards with puzzle numbers, so young ones can count to figure out forgotten number names.
- Place the correct number of eyes on each alien.
- Check work by counting aloud with your grown up.
5 Senses Puppets
Parent Preparation
- Print 5 Senses Puppets by Simple Everyday Mom, on white card stock.
- Provide crayons, 5 wide craft sticks, glue stick, scissors.
Student Assembly
- Color puppets as desired.
- Cut out or ask a grown up to help you cut out the puppets.
- Paste a craft stick to the back of each puppet.

I found this worksheet as a jpg on Pinterest and I wasn’t able to trace it back to a linkable source.
I Spy
This toddler version worked well for us, but any I Spy book will do the trick:)
Love,
