Tie-in Literacy Activity
Materials
crayons
glue sticks
red barn
animals
9x12 sheet construction paper
As you and your child color each animal, talk about what it is called, where it lives, what colors the animal can be, what it eats, and what sound it makes. Assist your child in gluing the barn so that the animals can look out. Write your child’s name on his or her picture saying each letter as you write it.
