Q / R - Quilts & Rain: April 20-21, 2015

Books:
Little White Rabbit by Kevin Henkes *
Mr. Putney's Quacking Dog by Jon Agee
A Rainbow of My Own by Don Freeman
Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas *
Robots Everywhere by Denny Hebson *
Who Likes Rain? by Wong Herbert Yee *

Craft: My Q Quilt
This week the kids made a paper quilt with quilt squares featuring the letter "Q" or items that start with the letter "Q".  The kids colored the squares before gluing them to a 3x3 grid.

Literacy Extensions:
- The letter "R" is a great opportunity to practice rhyming.  Instead of focusing on the start of words this week practice word ending phonics by coming up with rhyming words.
- Another fun "R" activity is riddles.  Grab a riddle book and see how many your child can figure out.  Don't worry if they don't figure out the riddles.  The word play is fun to read also.


Notes:
I was unable to find a book featuring the letter "Q" that liked.  So we ended up reading "R" books and making a "Q" craft.  It worked out pretty good.
