This week we are reading the book Yummy Yucky by Leslie Patricelli. Miss Carrie loves Leslie Patricelli books!
Babies put everything in their mouths. They don't know what is yummy and what is yucky! We read the book together and talked about what we can eat and what we can't eat. We discovered that some friends like foods we don't. We heard a story about one of our classmates who went camping at the sand dunes and got sand in her mouth. Sand is yucky! Fun to play in, but not to eat. Baby even tried to eat boogers! EW! We've been talking about boogers earlier in the year so everyone knows that we don't put them in out mouths. If you put your fingers in your nose, the teachers will ask you to wash your hands. We don't want to get sick.
This book brought out a lot of conversation and a lot of laughter among the kids. Everyone was eager to share what they liked and did not like. What do you like to eat? Who likes pie? Where did you eat hamburgers?
DO THIS AT HOME: What do you think is yummy/yucky? What things should you NEVER put in our mouths? What foods do you like or don't like?
