Dairy Treat Day

We tasted a little of each item and talked about the color, texture, taste, and smell.

Dairy was a lot of fun and we had a blast redoing the puppet show for Dad tonight. My son wanted to do it over and over during our lesson.


The basket was fun because he was able to do some of the cutting and practice using scissors. And the song was a hit! We sang it over and over throughout the day...I may be dreaming it tonight. We also talked about where milk comes from and what other products it makes. The books were good discussion points for these ideas and were very informative. Maybe a little too informative about cow's digestive habits...

Our letter lesson went well and I think we will stick with letters for each day because it works best for us and gives my son a chance to practice writing. He can recognize all the letters and knows all their sounds, so this was good to talk about words that start with Cc and work on writing letters.

The cheese book was very interesting even at an adult level. This afternoon we went to the grocery store and looked at all the different types of cheese available. We felt whether they were soft or hard and looked at different colors. Good reinforcement activity.
