Play With Me

Play With Me
Marie Hall Ets

In this book, a little girl learns about patience as she seeks to play with various animals. Only when she learns to sit still and quiet do the animals come out to play.

Lesson Plan:
Bible: Psalm 46:10a - "Be still, and know that I am God"

Science - Dew: The little girl went to the meadow while the dew was still on the grass. Walk in the early morning grass. Explain that the grass is wet because of the dew.

Science: Pond Life: Visit a pond. Observe the frogs, turtles, insects, fish, and birds. Discuss how making noise scares the animals. Practice sitting quietly.

Science: Up Close: Take some bread crumbs to feed the ducks at the pond or visit the rabbit at the museum and feed it some grass.

Science: Snakes: Visit a pet store to observe snakes. Discuss that some snakes are dangerous and should not be played with.

Sign Language: Grass, Quiet, Morning

May. 18, 2006 - I borrowed this idea and blogged about it!

Posted by EEEEMommy

I came over to your blog in a pinch looking for an idea and of course you came through for me! :)
Thanks for sharing your wisdom! I'd actually never heard of this book before and we LOVED it!
Have a great day! Enjoy those grandkids! My mom is so thrilled that I'm "coming home" after living 12+ hours away for 9 1/2 years! She can't wait to spoil her grandbabies!

I am a mother to three grown daughters who all graduated from homeschool. I baby-sit my two granddaughters and use "Before Five in a Row" with them. My grandsons are also staying here while their dad is deployed. My mother thinks I should get a "job" but watching the grandchildren grow is the most rewarding job in the world. Come along as we explore God's world together.

Grand-Kids

Ryan is the oldest of my grandchildren. He is 4 years old and is my Tom Sawyer. He's the quietest one of the bunch but if he's not careful, he can be swayed by Huckelberry Finn. He enjoys being outside and getting dirty.

Kaylee is 4 years old. She is a cross between Ellie Mae Clampett and a Disney Princess. She loves animals and all that is involved with their care but she also likes girly activities. She enjoys learning new things and is always eager for "school".

Rowley is a typical little boy. He is 3 years old and is my little Huckleberry Finn. He's the adventurous one and has to be watched every minute of the day because you never know what he might be up to.

Karsyn turned 2 year old on September 16. She is also an adventurous child. She enjoys cuddling as long as it doesnt take up too much time because she has a want/need to be on the move.
