Today was timeline project day! Danny and I cut and glued his timeline pieces onto our poster. We drew the timeline and put on the pictures, captions, and years on the poster. We then talked about each event and I asked Danny questions about when events occurred. Danny enjoyed seeing pictures of himself and telling about events that have occurred in his six-year timeline. We hung the project in Danny's room. In addition to our project,
we continued talking about holidays. We reviewed our FL Studies Weekly packet about holidays around the world from yesterday and then went through some questions and answers about the material presented. We then enjoyed a holiday themed book, Hanukkah Bear by Eric Kimmel. In this funny story, an almost blind and deaf ninety-seven year old woman who is known for her delicious latkes, mistakenly takes a visiting bear for her rabbi! We laughed at all the silly things the woman did with the bear! We ended the day with another fun holiday book, Snowmen at Christmas, by Caralyn Buehner which showed us all the fun things snowmen do to celebrate Christmas. The snowmen sneak off at night while all the people are asleep! We worked to find the rhyming words throughout the story as well as the hidden mouse in the illustrations on each page.
