If you are wondering what in the world I am typing about, you must read the story "Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes." and if you love it you can check out, "Pete the Cat: I love my School Shoes."
These are fictional pattern stories that come complete with accompanying rocking music that teach children rhyme and patterning. We read, sang and elaborated on Pete the Cat this week and it culminated in an art project that turned out quite adorable! We practiced our fine motor skills by cutting and folding as well as our listening and organizational skills by following 2 and 3 step directions to create our Pete the Cats. When we finished our project, we put together a class graph analyzing our shoe color data. We practiced responding to questions such as, "How many MORE blue shoes than red shoes" and then would analyze, "How many FEWER red shoes than blue shoes" practicing our math vocabulary and comparing and contrasting information no a bar graph. We then sang the song again :)
Enjoy a few photos as you kick off your weekend!
Hopefully see you at the walkathon and I have heard it will be chilly...perfect for the dunk tank :)
