Red Wednesday!

For Red day breakfast, they wanted oatmeal again. I added red sprinkles this time.

After a little playing, we read our books. Today we read A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni. We talked about everyone being different colors and animals being different colors. Then we read The Little Red Hen by Paul Galdone. We discussed how everyone needs to share the chores in the home.

We then made our RED pages. Teagan again just wanted to play in the glue. I did manage to give him a few things to add to the pages. Gavin had no problem jumping in to this project.

Then Gavin made a stop sign. Teagan was already on the floor playing with other things.

After Gavin made his sign, I told him a little poem that I found online. It goes like this:
Red on top

Green below

Red says stop

Green says go

Yellow says wait even if you're late

We played RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT. The first way we played it was wiggling. Wiggle fast for green light, slow for yellow light and stop for red light. They had a blast doing this. So I tried the running version. I let them run around the living room. They were cracking up.

It was then time for Teagan's nap. I gave him cheese and put him to bed. While he is sleeping Gavin wrote in his notebook. He drew pictures about the Red Hen and drew pictures of us playing RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT.

He is now resting too. We are planning to go see Elmo at 1 so I'm trying to get them to rest up a bit before hand.

I'll be back later after we see Elmo!!

Oh and I'm going to try and start adding links to the books we read at the bottom of the posts.
