Itty-Bitty Bookworm: I like Me
Oct. 16, 2009 • 11:07 PM
We recently had some fun with the book entitled I Like Me.
I teach a class of 2-5 year olds in our homeschool co-op. It is a Little Literature class. This month we did a book within the Itty-Bitty Bookworm's Bo curriculum. The book was I Like Me by Nancy Carlson.
In this story, the pig appreciates and takes care of herself. I was able to incorporate a reminder from the Bible, too. I told the children how each of them was a special creation, made by God. How each one is unique.
We did the coloring picture included in the curriculum:
We also made the booklets from the curriculum. I had each child work on the same page at the same time. They colored each page according to their hair color, eye color. I wrote the word on the line since most of the children in this age group can not yet write. For the favorite foods page, I had food pictures already cut out of a magazine. They choose pictures of their favorite foods and glued them onto their "I like to eat____" page. The books really turned out cute:
For a take-home project, I gave them a sheet with an outline of a child. They were told do a self-portrait by making the person look like themselves. They brought them back to me to see at our next co-op. A self-portrait is a nice additional project for this book.
If you are interested in learning more about the Itty-Bitty Curriculum, check out their website. They have literature-based curriculums. The Bailey curriculum is for 18-36 month olds. The Bo curriculum is geared toward 3-5 year olds.
