Books:
Are You a Horse? by Andy Rash
Hidden Hippo by Joan Gannij *
The House in the Meadow by Shutta Crum
Hungry Hen by Richard Waring *
Hush, Little Horsie by Jane Yolen
The Magic Hat by Mem Fox *
Which Hat Is That? by Anna Grossnickle Hines
Craft: Letter "h" Horse
Our craft was based on the picture at left. The children were given a lowercase "h" and a horse head to color and glue together. They then glued on pieces of yarn for the horse's tail.
Literacy Extensions:
- See if your child can continue the book Which Hat Is That? by coming up with more descriptive riddles of different types of hats to wear.
- Explore the stages of building something. See if you can make it into a song or poem with each step being a different verse. (i.e. The House in the Meadow)
Notes:
The book Hungry Hen by Richard Waring always goes over really well. They tend to get very emotionally involved in the story so that the twist ending is a relief for them.
