So today I thought it would be fun to surprise the kids with little Jack-o-lantern oranges. So I drew a few cute faces and called in the kids for their snacks.
The kids saw them and said, "Ohh can we make some?" So we got out the sharpies and they all started decorating all the cutie oranges in the bag.
Matthew came over to show me his, "Look mom I made Dr. Dolittle and his alligator!"
Last week we started reading The story of Dr. Dolittle by Hugh Lofting aloud. It is the story of a doctor who learns to speak the languages of the animals and all his adventures. We are simply reading the book together as a family-no projects, no summaries, not comprehension activities. Just reading it for the literary experience. If you ever wonder if you kid is enjoying the books you read to him-just see if he decorates his oranges as the characters!
He continued on to make Chee Chee the monkey, Gub Gub the pig, Jip Jip the dog, Polynesia the parrot, the Pushme-pullyu, and then all the rats that had just vacated Dr. Dolittle's ship in today's chapter! If you haven't read The Story of Dr. Dolittle you should!
It is a very cute little book and very easy to read. Your children will love it!
