This month's Poppins Book Nook Theme is When I Grow Up. We chose to use the book When I Grow Up by Colin McNaughton. It is a fun book where a class of children put on a play entitled When I Grow Up. Each child shares what they would like to be from mermaid to rock star to queen of England! C thought it was cute.
To supplement our learning, we also grabbed a couple of non-fiction books from the library. We chose Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do by Kathrynn Heling & Deborah Hembrook and When I Grow Up by Jessica Loy.
Clothesline Clues has cute little rhymes using the uniform for an occupation and that end with "What job does she do?" When I Grow Up by Jessica Loy was really interesting for C because it highlighted unusual occupations like master cheese maker and pet photographer. It was nice to learn about more than the standard community helper jobs!
C has been really interested in drawing lately so I pulled out our What Shall I Draw book and let her choose a few pictures that went along with our theme. She chose to draw a rocket in outerspace for an astronaut and a tow truck! She did a great job! I am so happy to see her enjoying drawing because last year she gave up on a lot of her projects because they weren't perfect.
