Roo's fun with Katy No-Pocket

Katy No Pocket is one of our favorite stories (I know....I know....I say that about every book we do for school!) On Monday we read the story and talked about the different animals in the story. We used these cards from Homeschool Share (A wonderful resource) We started by identifying all the animals (opposum was a new one for Roo) then sorted the animals by mammals and non-mammal, then sorted them by where they live.

On Tuesday we read other books about animal mothers- and talked about moms and how much they love their babies. Wednesday we colored a picture of a Kangaroo, and talked about being grateful for the blessings we have and telling people who help us thank you.

Today was a fun day- we acted out part of the story- Here's Roo as the Man with all the pockets. We put toy tools in the pockets, then he took off the apron and dumped out the tools. Then Roo put his "Itty Cat" in the pocket (since he doesn't have a baby Kangaroo) and hopped around. Then we played the Tool Matching game (again from Homeschool Share) "Roo and I LOVE doing school time together!
