Shakin' and Readin'

The children at the Read With Me program today got to pick their own instruments that their coordinator provided. Tyler picked the wooded blocks. Then we sang a song and each child had a chance in the song to play their instrument. It was very loud, but so much fun for all of us. Then for their craft, the kids took an empty water bottle and glued tissue paper on the outside. The bottle was then filled with popcorn kernels, thus creating maracas. The take home book for this week is the well known "The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss. We read it tonight before bedtime. This was actually our first time reading it and Tyler really liked it a lot. He'll no doubt have a good time doing the Cat in the Hat activities that we brought home to do from class.
