Day three starts a new book: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, also by Laura Numeroff. Her books are so much fun! Read the book at story time, but continue reading Today is Monday by Eric Carle for morning meeting. I was never able to find a great song about cookies, and I always liked to sing songs that were familiar to the students, so I like to change the words of “The Muffin Man” to ask “Do you know the cookie man?”
For today’s art activity, you will make chocolate chip cookies using the paper circles cut out during yesterday’s fine motor activity. You have 2 choices for how to do this activity: (1) use white price dot stickers colored brown….students will peel the stickers off and stick them on their “cookie”; (2) use torn brown paper-glue to the “cookies”. You can have them color the dots or tear the paper today while they are doing art, or you can have them do it the day before as part of their fine motor activity.
For math today, count the “chocolate chips” on each student’s cookie. Write the numbers on the board or on a piece of chart paper and talk about who has the most and who has the least. Line the cookies up in order from greatest to least or vice versa. If you are feeling especially adventurous, you can graph the number of chocolate chips that each student has on his/her cookie.
