Truck & Tractor Story Time: May 16-17, 2016

Books:
20 Big Trucks in the Middle of the Street by Mark Lee *
Down by the Barn by Will Hillenbrand *
I'm Brave! by Kate McMullan
The Little Dump Truck by Margery Cuyler
McToad Mows Tiny Island by Tom Angleberger
Red Truck by K.R. Hamilton

Craft: T is for Tractor
The craft for this week is picture above.  The children were given a large T, small T, small L and two circles to color and then glue together into a tractor.

Literacy Extensions:
- Most children assume all tractors are green as John Deere tractors are very common.  Explore different color tractors and learn what companies use what colors.
- After reading I'm Brave, have your child "write" a similar book about another kind of truck or tractor.  Have them give characteristics and list what they do for their job.
