Each sixth week we take a break from our regular subjects and do a book study. This allows
- me to plan in detail the next 5 weeks of school
- us time to review concepts
- time to do other things (like field trips)
I'm using the book,
Games with Books by Peggy Kaye, for our book studies this year. This week our book was
Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina. We read the book many times this week. Here are other activities we did:
- Acted out the story with me being the peddler and K. the monkey, and then we switched.
- Cut "caps" out of paper and made the original pattern, then made our own patterns.
- Played Monkey See, Monkey Do. I'd make a weird face or pose and K. would copy it, then we'd switch and I'd copy her.
Some other ways you could expand this book:
- learn about different styles of hats
- learn about peddlers
- learn about monkeys
