Tigers Story Time: February 26-27, 2018

Books:
Beware of Tigers by Dave Horowitz
Cats Are Cats by Valeri Gorbachev *
It's a Tiger! by David LaRochelle *
Mr. Tiger Goes Wild by Peter Brown

Craft: Tiger Paper Bag Puppet
This week's craft is based on the picture at left.  The main different we made was that instead of all the individual facial features, the children were given one face (including eyes, nose, stripes, ears, etc) to color and glue onto the bag.  They also got to paws to color and glue onto the bag.

Literacy Extensions:
- Learn more about tigers.  Check out a nonfiction book about tigers from the library to learn more about them.
- Go on a field trip to the zoo to view the tigers.
