Is there a mouse in the house? No, but there’s a moose on the loose. This moose has been on the loose long enough, for now at least. The moose has helped us with math, reading, drawing, cooking, science, movement and more–see previous blogs.
One area we haven’t covered is social and emotional development. Thidwick, the Big-Hearted Moose can help. In this Dr. Seuss book, Thidwick helps kids learn to respect each other and each other’s things. This is another important skill and not just for kindergarten, but for developing healthy relationships.
Since this is the last moose post, here’s another book. A Chocolate Moose for Dinner, by Fred Gwynne. It’s not a moose for dinner, but a mousse, chocolate of course, and other confusing expressions done in rhyme (great for phonological awareness). A chocolate mousse is just what we need to celebrate all the learning. Do you have an easy recipe for chocolate mousse?
