BOOK:
OUR LITTLE KITCHEN
This fun and lively story brings together a crew of neighbors who combine their resources to prepare a meal for their community. With a garden full of produce, a joyfully chaotic kitchen, and a friendly meal shared at the table, Our Little Kitchen is a celebration of full bellies and looking out for one another.
RHYME: FIVE HUNGRY ANTS
5 hungry ants, marching in a line
They came upon a picnic, where they could dine,
They marched into the salad,
They marched into the cake,
They marched into the pepper,
Uh-Oh! That was a mistake!
AAAAACCCCCHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!

LITERACY TIP
The use of small percussion instruments such as bells, rhythm sticks, shakers and drums helps children with muscular development and coordination. In addition, they can help children break down words so they hear individual sounds. Using shaker eggs along to
rhythms helps children hear the syllables in words.
