My Book Tie-In of the Week
- What did we do?
- Craft
- It has become a tradition for JDaniel and I to visit his Aunt Jane at the high school she work at in costume and deliver her a treat. This year I had him decorate an old shoe box with Halloween stickers. We put cookies we baked into the box and took it to her school on Wednesday. She loved the box and I bet she inhaled the cookies.
- JDaniel loves to sit beside me or on my lap and work on the computer. We went to a great website called Read Write Think and wrote a poem about the moon using their Shape Poem interactive tool. Basically I just had JDaniel tell me things he knew about the moon and type them in.
What a great idea! I remember I made one about eyeglasses once.

Don't know why my image wouldn't work but we had a great rainy day book, song and craft that we did!
ReplyDeleteI would have inhaled the home baked cookies too:-). What a sweet idea to take a treat in like that! That box is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the poem link too, and for hosting this linky each week.
I love that you are already doing poems with him I would have thought my little guy was too little. I love how you used his words. What a cool activity!
ReplyDeleteI linked up! That sounds like a really nice tradition, visiting his aunt at school. That looks like a good interactive site - thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Dierdre,
