Adventures with Books: IF YOU TAKE A MOUSE TO SCHOOL

Adventures with Books:  

If You Take a Mouse to School

If You Take a Mouse to School
We had so much fun with this book. We explored it by following along and doing all the things that the mouse did in one day.
 He'll ask you for your lunchbox. 
Painted an old lunchbox to look like the one in the book. Made these magnets to retell the story as we went along.
























  
He'll take a look around.
Found this little mouse in a package of 3 at the dollar store. (In the pet/cat section) We hid him under our sorting cups and tried to find him.
(It would be better with 3 cups that are the same color, we just hid our eyes)

 He might do a little math. And spell a word or two.

He'll even try a science experiment.




He'll build a little mouse house.  
And make some furniture out of clay.  


Then he'll need some books for his bookshelf. He'll start by writing one of his own. So he'll need a lot of paper.  
While he is waiting, he'll play a quick game of soccer.  
 Then he'll ask you to shoot a few baskets.  


And do a little skateboarding.

You'll have to take him back to School.
Bookmarks (Foam Sheet  and felt.)


Made a Giant Pencil out of a pool noodle and tried to write our ABC's as if we were a mouse with a pencil.






Used a Child size brown socks, stuffed with toilet paper, some loom bands, pipe cleaner and wiggly eyes to create a mouse



Made paper backpacks to "take our mouse to school". Added a pencil to go with it.

Can't forget the Mouse Earrings


Adventures with Books: A Bad Case of Stripes


Adventures With Books:
A Bad Case of the Stripes








Rainbow Lima Beans 
I put them in a zippered bag that sheets come in and safety pinned the zipper so they could be played with and not eaten





Printed pictures in black and white and they added stripes and things they love.
 Idea found Here



For some of the younger kids we used mirrors from the Dollar Store and Dry Erase markers and they added stripes to their face as they looked at their reflection.

                                                               

We are doing a lot of name recognition and practice so we added a variety of stickers to the letters in our names.
