Reading

Our 4th Unit discusses the theme question: Where will our adventures take us? Children will be reading stories and doing projects about adventures.

We will discuss:
What are some places you have explored?
What stories do you know of animal adventures?
Where would you like to go on an adventure?

Finger Play
Animal Friends
I saw a little rabbit come. Hop, hop, hop!
(jump, with hands like paws in front)
A friendly duck came too. Quack, quack, quack!
(open and close hand in front of mouth)
A squirrel scurried down the tree,
(motion upward)
With a bird the color blue. Tweet, tweet, tweet!
(flap arms)
I said to all the animals, "Won't you please stay?"
(palms up, questioning)
But when it started raining—pitter, pitter, pat,
(wiggle fingers down)
They all ran away.
(make fingers "run" outward)
