This week in Miss Chris and Miss Randi's room we read the book
"A House for Hermit Crab" by Eric Carle!
As we read the book, each child had an opportunity to find a sea object/animal that was in the book and place it on or near the hermit crab's shell. The children had to locate the object/animal and follow the directions (i.e.: Find the sea anemone and put it on the top of the shell.).
Throughout the reading of the book, the children were asked to define various words.
Some of the words included: snug, plain, frightening, fierce, gingerly, protect, and re-arrange.
Asking your child what a word means, then reading the sentence is a wonderful way to build vocabulary.
