Poetry for Kids

This month's for Poppins Book Nook we are exploring poetry.  Over the years I have tried to introduce C to poetry, I even had grand ideas of us memorizing poems together each month.  I loved Shell Silverstein as a kid and I was so excited to share Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too and other favorites with her.  She wasn't the least bit interested.  So to be honest, I wasn't looking forward to this theme nearly as much as the others.

I decided to start our reintroduction to poetry by taking a different route.  We started with videos on YouTube.  Shell Silverstein was still not a winner here, but we did find one!  Steve Attewell, author of That's Twice I've Laughed My Socks Off has created several animations to go along with poems out of this book.  C especially enjoyed "There's a Crocodile in my Lunchbox" but she enjoyed them all.  You can watch the video for "There's a Crocodile in my Lunchbox" below!

We decided to make a craft to go along with the poem.  We made a simple lunch box out of folded construction paper.  She used stickers and crayons to decorate the front.  On the inside she painted a crocodile and used oil pastels to draw the food.  She loved this simple craft and I loved that she was able to see that poetry can be fun!

That's Twice I've Laughed My Socks Off by Steve Attewell is only $.99 for Kindle! (affiliate link, thank you!)  

This month we also tried our hand at writing an acrostic poem.  We decided to write a Spring poem because we have been stuck inside way too much lately due to the cold!  We are eagerly awaiting Spring here in Ohio so it was fun to focus on warmer weather.

In the Kitchen with An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving

This month our Poppins Book Nook theme was, To The Kitchen, perfect for November!  It went well with our Thanksgiving unit study.  We decided to read An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving by Louisa May Alcott.  It is such a sweet story about sisters who try and take on the Thanksgiving dinner will their mother is off to care for their ailing grandmother.  Of course, their kitchen adventures aren't without mistakes but in the end everyone is just happy to be together.  We also used the book Explore Colonial America! by Verna Fisher, for a some colonial recipes. 

We spent a lot of time together in the kitchen this month.  Not only for our Poppins Book Nook theme, but also my C's Mpact Girls class was focusing on cooking this month.  In her class she learned about following a recipe, washing her hands before cooking, and lots of other cooking fun!  Everything flowed together so well for us this month, it was awesome.

First we tried out a recipe for Johnny Cakes that we got from a book about colonial days.  The recipe was really simple: 2 cups cornmeal, 1 cup water, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons sugar.  We tried half the recipe plain and half with blueberries mixed in.  C really liked the blueberry version!  They were a little plain, but it was fun to try something the colonists would have made. 

We also tried our hand at making homemade rock candy.  Our book about Colonial America said that rock candy was a favorite later in the colonial period.  In C's chemistry class on Saturday, that happened to be discussing crystals, so it was perfect!  We let ours grow for one week and it was a little smaller than the ones you buy at a store but still plenty of sugar for a little one.  :)

C got a little adventurous in the kitchen this month.  We had an apple taste test at co-op, she liked them all, especially Fuji and Granny Smith.  We used the printables from 1+1+1. Then one day she surprised me by begging for sardines at the grocery store.  I really try to not let my own opinions on food impact hers but I have to admit, I tried to talk her out of it.  She insisted, she loved the idea of eating these little fish.  She really enjoyed them!  She surprised me again by deciding she likes hot sauce now.  She's used it on meatloaf, eggs and potatoes so far.  We certainly had an interesting month!

Albie and the Space Rocket!

 

We have just loved every Poppins Book Nook theme this year and this month is no different!  This month's theme is Beyond Our Planet.  I immediately thought of the book Albie and the Space Rocket by Andy Cutbill because we already own this book and it is so fun!   Albie is a little boy trying to figure out what happened to his bed.  He discovers all kinds of crazy things going on in his home including two moose dancing the tango in the restroom and an entire colony of penguins!  Finally he finds that a group of elephants has transformed his bed into a space rocket.  It is a very wacky and fun book, C loves it!

To go along with our story, C decided to design a rocket of her own.  She went with a more traditional approach.  We just used some construction paper, scissors, glue and a bit of thin cardboard to create this little rocket.  I apologize for the terrible cell phone picture, my camera wasn't cooperating.

As soon as I snapped this picture, C grabbed her rocket and was on the moon in a matter of minutes! She had a great time pretending with this theme.  We also used this opportunity to review what we have learned so far in our Apologia Astronomy program.  We just went through her notebooking journal to see what we have recorded.  It was a great time to review.  We loved the opportunity to dig in to this fun book during our school time this month!

The Wild West!

This month we explored the exciting world of the Wild West!  C was especially excited about this theme. While at the library, we chose two chapter books this time instead of picture books.  C has enjoyed all of the Magic Tree House books she has read so we picked up Ghost Town at Sundown.  We also checked out The Last Cowboys by Harry Horse.  If you aren't familiar with the Magic Tree House series, it is an excellent choice for kids who are ready to try chapter books.  The chapters are short, the stories are engaging and they have pictures.  I have to admit that at first C didn't appreciate that the pictures are black and white.  Even though she can now read longer chapter books, she still enjoys reading the Magic Tree House selections!

The Last Cowboys is a cute little story told in letters from a grandfather to his grandchild.  He is off in search of his beloved dog's grandfather who supposedly lives in the Wild West.  It isn't set in the days of the wild west so the grandpa and his dog find themselves searching attractions like, "Cowboy Town" to find the old dog.

I found a cute cactus craft from the Preschool Playbook.  For complete directions you can visit the link to her blog. The weather was beautiful so we decided to take our Wild West school work outside!  C wanted to dress up to go along with the theme so she put on her jeans, boots, and the closest thing she had to a cowboy hat.  The results are adorable.

After we made our craft, we got out C's writing journal and I asked her to write about the wild west.  I didn't give her any other instruction.  She came up with:

If you lived in the wild west, you would need a horse because how else would you get around?

You can tell a bit from the picture that she didn't spell everything perfectly.  When she is writing I ask her to do her best to use the skills we learn in our spelling time but I let her focus on writing.  When are spelling rule comes in up in our All About Spelling that applies to words I have seen her spell incorrectly,  I will point it out then.  

While at the library, we also picked up the Putumayo Kids presents Cowboy Playground cd.  We listened to it as we ate lunch on our wild west day! C loved it!  Check out the links below to view the resources we used on Amazon:

• Magic Tree House: Ghost Town at Sundown by Mary Pope Osborne
• The Last Cowboys by Harry Horse
• Putumayo Kids Presents: Cowboy Playground

When I Grow Up

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.
