We are so excited about the June theme from Mother Goose Time.https://www.mothergoosetime.com/ It is called Alphabet Island. It is filled with the most amazing learning activities all month long. Today I want to share with you our Island Day Fun.
Ariana, what do you think makes boats move?
Steam can make a boat move. Why do boats have sails? She said because they use the wind to move them to make the boat go left and right.

If you discovered an Island what would you name it?
I would name my island The Beach. -Ariana
On Ariana's Island paper she made a map. She said the map is to help pirates so they don't get lost. She said that X marks the spot and that is where the treasure is. Then she drew waves in the water and said the waves get so big that you could drown and that's why you have to follow the maps directions. She drew a pink boat in the water on the map because said pink was her favorite color.
Ahoy!ABC-Reading Comprehension
Ariana loved this beautiful book. Wonderful for Letter Recognition and more.
Island Exploring- Listening Comprehension
An additional activity my granddaughter enjoyed doing.
Throughout this theme I saw my granddaughter use multiple skills and expand upon what she has learned and go further with the learning experience in different areas on learning. Not only with one learning activity but most of them. It was very exciting. I can't wait until I am using the curriculum in my classroom.
