We've been working on a Community theme. First we learned about our state - New Jersey. We marked the location of our house, Granny Franny's house and Gramma Kayes house by gluing arrows to a state map. We read the section on New Jersey in "Smart About the 50 States". We also colored sheets with the state bird (Eastern Goldfinch) and flower (violet). Georgie did a writing/tracing page with our address. We're going to work with him on learning his address and phone number but I'm sure that's going to be an ongoing project.
We read the Dr. Seuss book "And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street" and Georgie dictated his own story "I Saw It On O------ Road". Here's his story:
"A snake pulling a football and a cat pulling a basket with a thing of cookies in the basket......A lion pulling a shoe and a girl singing with a bologna sandwich...and there's more.....An elephant pulling a rock, a little big and enough heavy for the elephant to pull it....a dinosaur pulling a bird and the bird flying and pulling the dinosaur and its a three horn tritops.....and a bat pulling a map.....a pigeon pulling a statue and a sticker with eyes.....a cup with a blanket with a shoe with chalk with a basket."
He also wrote a story with daddy. Here's his cover page:
And the story goes like this: "A fish named Webo was friends with a dog named Zappa. They liked to go to the zoo. Their favorite animals were the Tigers."Vicki's been going to a "Tot Fun Time" class at the Y. She gets to sing, dance, play games and do a simple coloring project two days a week. She's having a lot of fun with it and it gives her time with mom or Georgie thats just for her. Some of the projects they've done lately:
Next week we're continuing our Community studies with different types of communities and community helpers.
