Week 5 Preschool and Prek are starting a new author study.

Today we participated in an Author Study: Laura Numeroff, “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.” This activity will provide children the opportunity to observe that books have titles, authors, and illustrators. Children are given the opportunity to show respect, kindness, and patience toward others. Children listen to the story and verbally respond when asked to talk about illustrations and make predictions.

Through their cognitive development they will extend their Author Study: Puffy Paint Cookie. This activity will provide children the opportunity to connect to a story heard earlier in the day while engaging in science and creative art. Children listen and follow multi-step directions to make the puff paint collaboratively with their teacher. Children engage in art and science as they participate in following the steps to making puff paint and painting their own cookie.
