This past week we read Where the Wild Things Are
Here are some of the activities we did to go along with the story book. Most of these ideas I got from 450 More Story S-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-r-s (Stretchers) for the Primary Grades: Activities to Expand Children's Favorite Books

We made monster paintings
We made monster masks
We also made some music makers.
and had a wild rhombus dance party (basically we played freeze dance).
Our week reading where the Wild things Are was so much fun. We ended with them re-telling the story to me. It was neat to see how they could remember all the little details with such enthusiasm.
One funny thing that happened this week was when I told Libby and Keagan we were going to make musical instruments. They got so excited and Miss Priss yelled "We're going to make a radio?". She really thought mommy was busting out electrical wiring equipment. I couldn't stop from laughing. I am glad she believes I can do anything, but make a radio? not in my repertoire
