C - Cookies & Cupcakes: January 20, 2015

Books:
The Cow Loves Cookies by Karma Wilson
Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds *
Cupcake by Charise Mericle Harper *
Fortune Cookies by Albert Bitterman *
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

Craft: Paper Plate Clown
We made a very simple clown this week.  Children colored a triangle hat, bowtie, and small paper plate with a face.  They then glued the pieces together along with strips of red paper for hair.

Literacy Extensions:
- Talk with your child about how the letter "c" makes different sounds.  It has the hard "c" in clock and the soft "c" in city.  You could also discuss how the sound changes when added to an "h" in change.
- For a fun activity have your child try to come up with fortunes for a fortune cookie. (i.e. Fortune Cookies)

Notes:
There was no Monday story time this week due to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
It was interesting that all of our books this week had to do with food.
