G - Gardens & Goats: February 17, 2015

Books:
Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum by Lisa Wheeler
Let's Count Goats! by Mem Fox *
My Garden by Kevin Henkes
The Short Giraffe by Neil Flory *
Silly Tilly by Eileen Spinelli *

Craft: Gumball Machine
This week's craft was based on the craft found at http://www.themeasuredmom.com/crafts-for-toddlers-and-preschoolers-the-letter-g/.  I traced the gumball machine and cut it out of cardstock for the kids to color.  They could then stick on circle stickers for gumballs.

Literacy Extensions:
- Talk about how letters can make different sounds (i.e. hard "g" in "garden" and soft "g" in "giraffe". - Practice letter recognition by having your child point out the letter"g" on various pages of the book you are reading.

Notes:
Story Time was not held on Monday this week as the library was closed for Presidents Day.
