In anticipation of this month's holiday, today we read about food. We began with In November by Cynthia Rylant, one of my favorite picture books. It shows some familiar autumn events and activities, and ends with adults and children coming together for a family meal. Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper told about three friends who made soup together, each with their own specific contribution, and what happened one day when one friend tried another's job. Today is Monday by Eric Carle showed a different food (and animal) for every day of the week. Piggie asked Elephant to try a taste of his food in I Really Like Slop by Mo Willems. Elephant's reaction was very funny! And in How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food by Jane Yolen, we read about how impolite dinosaurs can be at mealtimes! But not us!
Then we decorated the rims of paper plates to make them look fancy! After that, we began to place on them representations of our favorite foods, like paper bag meats or fish, cotton ball potatoes, yarn spaghetti, green pom-pom peas...there were so many different foods depicted!
YUM! What a delicious-looking plate!
