Through the heart of the Jungle

Our Internet was down this week, Verizon came out today YAY! So here is just a quick sum up of the week.  Glory's 'theme' was Jungle.  She learned about the letter B, number 2, color Green, shape Square.  Her favorite jungle animal is the elephant for certain !  Her Favorite jungle book from the week would have to be 'Through the heart of the Jungle' which starts with a fly buzzing and ends up with a roaring lion !  She just loves the snake and elephant and everything in between.  Wonderful Illustrations ... may be a book we end up purchasing. We still plan on doing a craft, but it was raining today and we had planned on taking it outside this week;  We'll see how it goes tomorrow.  We also found a great set of video cassette series called 'See how they grow'.  She has become so in love with the snakes in the 'Jungle Animals' video that we just had to get a couple rubber snakes to stuff in her stocking  :)

Learn a Color - Green

Day 6 End of Week 1 (review and rhyme)


This week we used the rhyme 'Hey Diddle Diddle'  She's so funny how she dances while we sing it because she recognizes it.  She just lights up!  When we stop singing it she 'do do do' s until we sing it again.  She did really well this week !  even throwing in a few new (very unexpected) words, like 'coke!' when pointing to our can of soda.  (we don't drink 'coke' by the way but we do call it that)  As well as her first question with more than one word 'Touch that?!'  while pointing at something she wants to touch.  We are really looking forward to next week ! Her Favorite book from this week was 'Moo' by Matthew Van Fleet, Glory's favorite part was milking the cow and feeding the cat!
