What We Read at Morris Arboretum on July 1

The circus is in town at Morris Arboretum! It is Circus Week at the Garden Railway. If you have not see the Garden Railway, check it out. It's a small garden with a variety of model trains making their way around the tracks. For train lovers, this is an absolute delight, especially when you're trying to follow the train. I've had the chance to visit it twice so far and I'm just as excited about the different trains as the children you see there.

Our Theme: Circus and trains!

What We Read

• Circus by Lois Ehlert. - JJ EHL
• Take a trip to the circus and watch daring acts and enjoy snacks!
•  And The Train Goes-- by William Bee- JJ BEE
• The train makes a variety of noises as it travels down the tracks. This is a fun one to recite as you read it!
•  Mice Mischief : Math Facts in Action by Caroline Stills ; illustrated by Judith Rossell. - JJ STI
• 10 mice clean up and practice until it is time to play!

What We Did

• Sang my favorite opening and closing songs "If you'd like to hear a story" and "The more we read together." 
• Sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
• Sang "The Alphabet Song."
• Acted out "Circus Clown," a rhyme similar to "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear."
