" Can it fit ?" was so much fun. It gave the kids a chance to practice reading the sight words. It taught them not everything is the same size. Also it made them think about which and how many animals would fit in the hole.
Egypt made an appearance on our map. The kids were not very familiar with Egypt. We talked about rock carvings and pyramids.
It is a sunny 4 degrees in Washington, Illinois today. I took my middle daughter to work and I had to let my car warm up at least 15 minutes before it was warm enough to get into.
Names of animals as vocabulary has made it fun watching the kids learn to recognize the words. "Wild Animal Match" gave them practice finding the correct animal, learning letters, and words. This little girl liked every single animal on the cards.
With every Mother Goose Time manipulitive I get the kids enjoy them to the fullest. They have been learning so much with the shape beads and strings. They are learning teamwork and sharing. They are identifying shapes and they are working on counting.
The "Giraffe Spots Game" is amazing. The kids jumped right in and started playing. First they counted the spots on the number card. Then they turned the card over to see if they were right. After that they counted the number of spots they needed. With the way the game is set up I feel the kids got some valuable counting and number recognition practice.
All of us keep having fun learning adventures every single day with Mother Goose Time Curriculum. We are going to be back very soon with more adventures to share with everyone.

I would like to revisit this story and add adventures for the meerkatts .
We made to the "Zebras". I even learned new things. I did not know that every "Zebra's "stripes were different. I love the changes made to the "Zebra Stripe Art". The last time I did this project there was just a black piece of paper and chalk . The blue paper and the eyeballs are very cool. It gave the children so many more opportunities to be creative. We got busy with our journals too. Imagination and writing the letter "Z" went very well.
The story cards are awesome. The children learned how to recognize A,B, C, D and they learned they are just fine the way they are. The kids liked the pictures on the other side of the cards too. All of us including me learned ways to be more "Patient". The "Be Patient " activity is great. This gave everyone skill they need to learn in a fun way . We also got much needed practice on " number recognition with the lion and zebra number cards.
The "Lion Mask " is an awesome activity. Kids are learning so many skills when they are doing this. They working on the
