G is for Grass

Last week we studied Gg. Amelia and I had just been to the library and she picked out the book, In the Tall, Tall Grass. I thought it would be a great fit to our study. I read the book and we identified all of the rhyming words. We also discussed each critter in the tall grass. I wanted to use this idea to illustrate G for our ABC book. I had the kids draw and color the critters we read about on their G. Then, I gave each of them a strip of green construction paper and demonstrated how to make grass. We figured out where to place the grass and where to place the glue so we could pull the grass back to see their critters.
