The Easter Bunny That Overslept by Priscilla and Otto Friedrich.  One spring morning, the Easter Bunny skips merrily along to deliver his colorful, hand-painted eggs.  but the children tell him that it's Mother's Day, which can only mean on thing: HE SLEPT THROUGH EASTER! Nobody wants eggs on Mother's Day, or on the Fourth of July and especially not on Halloween.  Children will sympathize with the little bunny's plight and cheer when Santa finds the perfect gift to help.

Come join us for this wonderful story, sing silly songs and create a fun craft.  We are using vocabulary as our Every Child Ready to Read skill this month.  Knowing words.  Talking to your child all the time helps to develop their vocabulary.  You might think they are not paying attention, but studies show that they are.  

We hope to see you Tuesday morning.

Our story this week is : Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett. Retells the story of Goldilocks, set in an igloo.  Aloo-ki glances up from fishing and sees her sled dogs floating off on an ice floe. She races after them and comes upon an igloo. Being a curious girl, she goes inside only to find no one home. Thatœs because the polar bear family who lives there is out walking while their breakfast cools off. Aloo-ki eats some soup, tries on their boots, and finally crawls into the smallest bed for a nap. Meanwhile, Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear see her dogs adrift, swim out to rescue them and return home to find Aloo-ki fast asleep in Baby Bearœs bed.Jan traveled to the far North to meet the Inuit people and see the amazing land where they live. Dramatic illustrations capture the shimmering ice, snow and deep blue seas of the Arctic, and when Jan adds a raven-haired Inuit girl and her appealing huskies, an endearing family of polar bears, and playful Arctic animals in the borders, the result is one of her most beautiful picture books.The decorative Inuit patterns and clothing Jan uses throughout are sure to attract adult fans and collectors while children will want to listen to and look at this exciting version of a well-loved story over and over again.

This book is a great example of Narrative Skills.  You want to read the book to your child over and over again.  We will be creating an igloo with some help from something sweet.  See you on Tuesday morning.

Scared-Cat Splat by Rob Scotton. 

It's Halloween, and Splat is determined to be the scariest cat in the class. Unfortunately he's just too much of a scaredy-cat. He's afraid of a little spider, and everyone says his costume looks more silly than scary. And when Mrs. Wimpydimple tells a ghost story in the dark, Splat gets so frightened that he tips over his jack-o'-lantern. But when the lights go back on, the entire class is scared silly by a small, black, furry creature with a big pumpkin head. Whooooo can it be? 

Please join us for lots of fun, singing and a wonderful story.
