Mice

We had some fun with mice this week. We worked a lot on counting and colors. The kids loved retelling the story "lunch" with all my giant pieces. They also love tell the story "Mouse Count" with the ten mice, the jar, and the snake.
They kids had a lot of fun with the 'mouse nest' that had numbered mice, cheese, toy mice, and things that start with M.
The classes made their own class book, each child contributing a page that says "if ____ were a mouse he would eat_____. Then they got to cover the mouse in colors of that food. They also used paint to dip toy mice in and make them dance all over the paper.
I think the favorite activity this week was copying the mouse from "if you take a mouse to school" and doing a purple explosion science experiment.-
