"Caps for Sale"

This week finds us exploring "Caps For Sale" by Esphyr Slobodkina.

For our first day, we learned what the words "bunch" and "cap" mean.

On our second day, we watched youtube videos about how monkeys play and then Gideon got to wear a monkey mask and act like a monkey.

This week we're also learning about the letter B. We had fun walking and running the letter B that we'd made with flour outside.

We also had fun making the letter B out of blocks.

On our third day, we read the story and noticed the different feelings presented in the story. We discussed anger and how to deal with it in a positive way.

For the next day, we experienced the artistic aspects of the book. Gideon got to become part of the story with a mustache and different hats.

We then made a flip book of different occupations and the "hats" they wear.

We matched each occupation to the hat they would wear.

For our last day of fun with "Caps for Sale", we learned about standing tall and balance. Gideon enjoyed trying to stand still enough for the book to stay on his head and the victory of being able to walk with it staying there.
