Pete the Cat

We finished up our 4-day read-aloud of Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes!  We all had such a good time singing along with the song!  Adventure Preschool friends:  Make sure you check your child's folder!  I sent home a simple version of the story!  Ask your child to tell you the story and sing the song!  For the next two weeks we are going to be reading Pete the Cat and His 4 Groovy Buttons!  We will be doing lots of different activities with buttons!  We will make button prints in playdough, pattern with buttons and talk about colors and shapes!  This story is available to listen to online as well at the harper collins website. 
Vocabulary words for this story are: numbers from 0-4, Shirt and Button.  Please work with your child on recognizing the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.  Help your child count buttons that they see on shirts, coats, pants etc. If you have extra buttons, allow your child to play with them, count them and pick them up.  This is great practice for developing those small muscles in the hand...the same ones that we use to write!
