After our bean bag song, we read Adorabull by
Alison Donald. The kids really enjoyed this one about a boy and his bull friend
and kept using the word "adorable" afterwards to describe the pictures
in our stories.
We had a matching activity where they each had half of a
heart shape and had to match it up on the flannel board with the same color
half. The group always enjoys getting interactive with the flannel board and
they each did a great job with matching!
Our next book was The Friendship Book by Mary
Lyn Ray. A nice, sweet book describing what makes a friend and friendship.
Afterwards, we did some more matching using laminated book
characters. They really enjoyed the matching activities and liked talking about
some of the characters that were matched to their friends.
Our last story was My Big Bear, My Little Bear, andMe by Margarita Del Mazo. The surprise twist at the end is what made the
book for the kids.
For our craft, we made friendship cards using cloud and sun
die-cuts, construction paper and crayons. This craft was easy practice for the
kids and they liked coloring their cards and added hearts.
