The Queen of Hearts

I thought this poem would be a perfect way to link literacy to Valentines day.

I wrote it up on a little poster like this because M. is a pre-reader.
The pictures helped her recognize that words carry meaning.

I got out the old Lego table that we use as a water tub, sand tub, and play dough bin, and put all of our pink and white play dough in together. Along with some old pie tins.

We read from Disney's Mother Goose Rhymes
The Queen of Hearts
I had this book when I was a little girl,
I loved it, and my mom gave me the book and the tape!

I love the cute little illustrations.
While I was doing prep, she was listening to the rest of the book.

I found these little measuring spoons at target,
and she counted how many heart scoops it took to fill up her tart tin.

It was fun, and she is so sweet!
{Seriously.}

After this she got dressed up like a queen,
and ate lunch like royalty!

Instead of making pretend tarts,
wouldn't it be fun to make these yummy tarts!?
Maybe when I have a little more hand eye coordination!
