City Story Time: November 12, 2013

Books:
All Through My Town by Jean Reidy
Bear About Town by Stella Blackstone *
Blackout by John Rocco
Old MacDonald in the City by Suzanne Williams *
Trashy Town by Andrea Zimmerman & David Clemesha *

Craft: Paper City
The children colored a city scene and two people.  The template was found on Made by Joel - http://madebyjoel.com/paper-city.  We did not do the folding to make the city stand.  Instead, they can be leaned against a wall or other object.  The site also has various other city scenes, people and vehicles that can be printed out. 

Literacy Extensions:
- Read Aesop's fable County Mouse, City Mouse.  Then list the differences between the city and the country.
- With your child, try to list all the different buildings in your town (i.e. doctor's office, store, library, etc.)
