Story:
The Missing Mitten Mystery by Steven Kellogg
1.We reviewed how M and m says "mmm" and rubbed our bellies like we were eating delicious muffins, cupcakes, and lots of other treats the girls imagined, lol! :)
2. We brainstormed and complied a list of "m" words (see the picture of our list below). The Lil Divas thought of all the words on their own - it took a while but they wanted to fill up the page!
Fine Motor Practice:
The Lil Divas practiced writing the letters M and m. We used a Letter Mm printable from DLTK-Kids.com
I wasn't thrilled about the steps portrayed in making the upper case M so we just did it our own way which I find much easier and flows better for the Lil Divas. My adice is to just do what is best for you and your child.
Game: Mitten Memory Match-Up
Since they had worked so hard we decided to play a Mitten Matching/Memory Game for fun!
Here is where you can find the Mitten Matching Game Printables courtesy of PreKinders.com.
I laminated the above sheets and cut them out beforehand so we would be ready to play.
A few pics of the Lil Divas playing the game!
Enjoy!
