O - Owls and Ocean: April 6-7, 2015

Books:
As an Oak Tree Grows by G. Brian Karas
Big Egg by Molly Coxe
Colors of the Ocean by Laura Purdie Salas
I Am Otter by Sam Garton
Little Hoot by Amy Krouse Rosenthal *
My Octopus Arms by Keith Baker *
Over in the Ocean: In a Coral Reef by Marianne Berkes *

Craft: Octopus
Our craft this week was based on the craft pictured above.  A piece of cardstock was cut in half and eight arms cut about 2/3 way of the sheet.  The sheet was then colored and glued into a cylinder.  The arms could be rolled or folded.

Literacy Extensions:
- Have your child continue the Over in the Ocean rhyme with other ocean creatures.
- Practice the different sounds of the letter "O".  See if your child can come up with words that use the different sounds (i.e. oo - Hoot, long o - old, short o - hot, etc.)
