F is for Feathers and Fish

On Friday I took Hailey to the McKee's Pet Store to look at the fish and the birds (because they have feathers). Hailey will not go in the bird section anymore because one time when she went in they made tons of noise, flapped around, and scared Hailey. Hailey liked looking at the fish but wasn't overly excited about it. We went to their outside section to look at all their animals out there.

So on Monday to continue our lesson on F we first read a lot of books. We read "Cheep! Cheep!" by Julie Stiegemeyer (all the words rhymed with Cheep) and "How Do You Count a Dozen Ducklings?" by In Seon Chae to talk about animals with feathers. We also read A First Discovery Book about Fish and Dr. Seuss "One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish".
For our craft activity, Hailey glued feathers on the letter F.

Here is Hailey feeling the feather. I rubbed the feather on my face and then on her skin so she can feel how soft the feathers were.

Hailey is analyzing where to put the feathers.

Yeah, here is the finished picture! Hailey had fun with it but it was difficult to glue and put the feathers down on the paper. Too many new things at once is very distracting, so I helped her after letting her try a few times.
