P - Pandas & Pigs: April 13-14, 2015

Books:
Baby Penguins Everywhere! by Melissa Guion *
Can You Make a Piggy Giggle? by Linda Ashman
Chengdu Could Not, Would Not Fall Asleep by Barney Saltzberg *
Little Pea by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore by David McPhail
This Little Pirate by Philemon Sturges

Craft: Standing Peacock
Our craft this week was based on the picture at right.  We did make several changes to it though.  The children each got a peacock body and a tail to color and sequins to glue to the tail.  They then made the peacock "stand" by sliding the tail onto the body using slits that had been cut in them.

Literacy Extensions:
- Do you know how many different types of penguins there are?  Investigate penguins with your child and learn more about the various types of penguins.
- Practice phonics and letter recognition with your child.  See how many words your child can come up with that start with the letter "P".
