Preschool - Week 10 - Angus Lost

Last week we read Angus Lost. This is another sweet book that provided many opportunities to talk about how life was back in the "olden days." And since E really loved the Katy No-Pocket lapbook we made (and has been using it to teach her monkey's in "monkey school"), I decided to make another one this week.



We made a new sight word card, "dog":

Most of the resources for the lapbook were taken from HomeschoolShare.com.

I just printed out a black and white copy of the book cover for E to color in as our lapbook cover:

We talked about the letter D sound and made a fun element with some "D" words:

There is a Collie and Scottie dog in the book, which led to talk about different dog breeds. I was very excited to see that the lapbook element included a Doberman, the best of all breeds! (Of course we colored it as a red Dobie, like Sadie...)

We talked about the "milk man" in the story, and this was a neat activity to help learn about how we get our milk today.  E cut out the pictures and we ran them through my Xyron machine. Then as I read each page in "Steps in Making Milk," she put the correct sticker on each page.

The cave animals idea I got from Lapbook Learning. I just found some cave animal pictures on Google Images and printed those out. E colored them and glued them inside the "cave."
