November Storytime

Hi Friends!

Happy November! I hope you enjoyed Mighty Tug written by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and illustrated by David Mottram. It is a good reminder that no matter your size or age you are STRONG and can do hard things. 

Make a Boat

This month's activity is making a boat! 

Supplies: colored construction paper, white construction paper, 1 black marker, 1 colored marker, scissors, and a glue stick

Cutting Out Your Shapes
Folding your colored construction in half cut out a big "C" shape with the curve being the open part of the paper. 

Cut out a rectangle from the white paper and a smaller rectangle from the colored paper. 

Cut out an "O" and 2 small thin rectangles from the white paper. 

Putting Together Your Boat
Glue the white rectangle to the folded edge of the boat. 

​Glue the colored rectangle on top of the white rectangle. 

Glue the 2 smaller white rectangles upright to be the smoke stakes. 

Draw 3 circlers with your black market to be the portholes (windows). 

Use the colored marker to make colored segments of your "O" shape and then glue it onto the body of the boat. This is the life raft. Every boat needs a life raft. 

Your boat looks so beautiful. I am so proud of you. I will see you next week for Children's Book Week. 

Have a great day,

Ms. Marissa
