'Milk and Cookies' - Imagine the aroma of baking cookies, the coziness of the family kitchen, the chatter among sisters, brothers, grandmas, granddads, mums and dads, and the anticipation and excitement of having friends come to visit. These 'at home' moments are times to be shared and treasured. These 'at home' moments are those captured in 'Milk and Cookies'. Cooking in the kitchen, dusting and washing clothes offer parents a natural time to guide their children in the 'hows' of helping around the house.
Literature plays a role in capturing these moments as well. Each page in the included literature books relates to in-class activities, thus tying together music, movement and literature. This fusion of learning modes heightens the learning experience for your child.
We go on a pretend trip to "The Grocery Store", which satisfies the need to move! Waiting for toast to pop up in the toaster plays with the fun of anticipation. An original poem, "Cupcakes", invites the child to engage the imagination in pretend play.
Baking cookies, eating cupcakes, blowing on hot cross buns, wiggling like jelly
and making tea all are represented in familiar songs and activities as well
as in new songs and activities.
