This week Miss Carrie brought one of her favorite books! Pete The Cat, I Love My White Shoes. It's written by Eric Litwin and illustrated by James Dean.
Miss Carrie asked if everyone remembered that she dressed up like Pete The Cat for Halloween.
This time, we read the book. Everyone sang and clapped or snapped their fingers along with Pete the Cat as we sang "I love my WHITE (Red/Blue/Brown/Wet) shoes! We shook our head when we said "Goodness, NO!" We guessed what color would come next.
Then Miss Carrie brought out a big box full of shoes. There were her Pete The Cat red shoes, there were sparkly shoes, dancing shoes, sandals, boots, shiny gold shoes, and gym shoes. We found shoes that looked the same and shoes that looked different. We compared them to the shoes we were wearing to see if they were bigger or smaller.
DO THIS AT HOME: What can you match at home? Shoes? Socks? So laundry takes a little bit longer to put away...you're working on language skills! Go you! What about setting the table? What is the same and what is different? Do you use big glasses for the adults and small cups for the kids? Set the table together and talk about it. Find opportunities in your everyday routine. Then do it again the next time.
