Virtual Story Time: Trucks -- June 2024

Each month, Miss Amy records a virtual Story Time that goes along with the monthly theme.  It will be posted monthly in the morning of the first Tuesday of the month.  (The video is available to watch for one month before a new one is uploaded.)

Extension Activities:

- Play a game of Monster Truck Bowling.  Set up plastic cups as the bowling pins and use monster trucks as the bowling balls.

- Visit your local firehouse for a tour of the fire truck.

- Draw a big maze (outside using sidewalk chalk or inside using masking tape on the floor) and have your child "drive" their truck the maze.  Remote control trucks would be a great option for this activity.

Colors Story Time -- Red, Week 2: April 21-22, 2014

The Little Red Hen (Makes a Pizza) by Philemon Sturges *

Craft: Clifford Ears
Children glued two long strips of red paper together before gluing on two red Clifford ears.  Since this was such a simple craft this week, we also did a Clifford coloring sheet.

Literacy Extensions:
- Discuss with your child what ingredients they like on a pizza.  Help them come up with a list of everything they would need to buy to make a pizza.  (i.e. The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza)
- Practice letter identification with your child.  As you read a book, have them point out all the letter "R"s that they see.
