The children were given a twinkle star cutout to color.  They then glued on sparkles and streamers to the bottom.  A string was tied through a hole punch at the top of the star.

Literacy Extensions:
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by Jane Cabrera extends the popular song by adding several verses.  See if your child can come up with some verses highlighting other animals and parts of the world.
- Good Night Owl is a good book to discuss how to problem solve.  Ask them how they would have solved the problem of finding the "noise".

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".
