Mother Goose Rhymes & Songs, Week 3: May 20-21, 2013

Books:
The Bear Went Over the Mountain by Iza Trapani
The Completed Hickory Dickory Dock by Jim Aylesworth *
Do Your Ears Hang Low? by Caroline Church *
Hey Diddle Diddle by Eve Bunting *
Shoo Fly by Iza Trapani
Take Me Out to the Ball Game by Maryann Kovalski *

Craft: Hickory Dickory Clock
The picture to the left was my inspiration for this week's craft.  I printed out a clock face and a clock pendulum for the kids to color and then glue to a paper lunch bag.  I also cut out a mouse body for them to color.  The tail was a piece of yarn tied to a paperclip which was then taped to the back of the mouse's body.  The kids could then clip the mouse onto the edge of the paper bag and "run" it up and down the clock.

Literacy Extensions:
- Discuss how your child thinks animals might play different musical instruments like in Hey Diddle Diddle.
- With your child, make up your own Completed Hickory Dickory Dock coming up with different activities the mouse could do throughout the day.
