Day 14 of hands on Play- Act out a story

DAY 14 CHALLENGE:

ACT OUT A STORY

Today we're digging into your

imaginations [as well as memory!] and bringing a

story to real life!

The story my daughter picked was "Pinkalicious and the Pink Drink." Selah received this book as a birthday present from her Aunt and it is her new favorite. (Her old favorite is "No David" and I am so thankful she did not pick that one!)

First the story starts will Pinkalicious looking in her piggy bank for money to buy gumballs. She had no money so she came up with an idea to have a lemonade stand.

Pinkalicious decides Pink Lemonade is the best choice and makes her version of Lemonade without her mom's help. She adds watermelon, grapefruit, and purple beets to make it pink.

She goes out to her Lemonade stand and starts selling!

Mr. Peabody comes over to buy a glass.

Sour face, "There is either too much of something or not enough of something else."

Oh No! Her brother spilled the lemonade! (Titus was taking a nap during today's play but I am pretty sure he could have helped with the spilling action!)

Now we can make a new batch, and mommy picks out strawberries to make it pink.

Mr. Peabody comes back for another glass and this time....

It is perfect!

Pinkalicious sells all her lemonade and then counts her money, 6 quarters, 4 dimes, 5 nickles, and 10 pennies.

Enough to buy some gumballs, but not just any gumball...

PINK gumballs!

The end... tomorrow Pinkalcious wants to bake pink cupcakes! Who knows maybe we will! :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.
