Week Twenty-Five: In the Tall, Tall Grass....

Theme: Animals in the Tall Grass
We had a fun discussion about what kinds of animals like to live, hide, eat, & travel through the tall grass. We pretended we were animals in the tall grass.

Letter: G
We met "Gary Goat." He introduced us to his girlfriend, Greta Goat. We learned the sign for "G" and practiced the "G" sounds. The kiddos helped me do an interactive reading about what "I" see in the Grass by choosing one Green animal and putting it into the Green Grass.
