The Very Busy Day and the Very Noisy Night

We read The Very Busy Day and The Very Noisy Night by Diana Hendry and used a venn diagram to compare the two stories. We focused specifically on the comparisons related to day and night. Then we made a mouse craft because the characters in the book are mice. You can get the pattern and instructions for making the mouse here.

Patrice said...: Are you books in ziplock baggies? What a neat idea to protect and use for display.
I love your blog. You keep your kindergartners challenged and engaged. I am a para for half day kindergartners AM & PM and they don't do nearly as much of what you promote in Kindergarten...I'm worried about their first grade experience {overload}.; January 30, 2013 at 7:45 PM
April Larremore said...: Yes Patrice. The books are in baggies. I put them in, zip them up, and staple the bags to the bulletin board :); January 30, 2013 at 7:48 PM
