Music
Then take a break and sing some songs, either using YouTube for assistance (you can use my Videos page for assistance for this) or sing them together as you do party of your families daily routine (chores, etc). Most of these videos would be better viewed for audio, rather than visual, as it will be easy for your child to become preoccupied with the animations.
This week's song is "Row Row Your Boat."
This week's song is "Row Row Your Boat."
- If you and your family are musically inclined, try teaching this in round after your child has the hang of the initial tune.

Literature
Prep your child for this story by talking about some of the more challenging vocabulary. Click here for the lesson plan.
If you have the book, Andy and the Lion by James Daugherty, read it once through with your child and discuss the difficult words as you read. Try not to let it divulge into "twenty questions" on the first reading. If you do not have the book, or would just like to have another person read it, there is an available videos on my Read-Alouds page.
Read it through a second time and allow your child the opportunity to point out things that they are interested in or are eager to describe. Discuss the illustrations. Discuss the meaning of the story.
