Creation Day 3

Here is a page from Zoe's creation book featuring the third day. For this part of the creation story we made a trip the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. We went to look at all of the plants that are native to the Sonoran Desert. The girls' favorites were the Teddy Bear Cholla and the Octopus Agave. We learned about how trees help people and animals and why it's important to plant trees.
Here's how the girls decorated their letter C: clouds, cupcakes and candy canes.
This is a center/independent game that the girls played together. They took turns spinning the spinner (not shown here but made with a brad and a paper clip). Whoever was spinning would read the word that the paper clip landed on, then color in a space above the word on the worksheet. The object is to continue playing until one of the sight words' spaces are all filled. They had fun trying to predict which word would be the winner! This is a fun way to practice sight words.
