Country mouse and City mouse – Learning With My Boys

The girls had fun learning about mice today. They had fun painting and playing games. We got our recourses for today from the M is for Monkey, Mouse / Mice, & Magnet Teachers Pay Teachers pack.

Mouse Science

We read from the Abeka Preschool Language Development Cards to learn more mice.
We watched The Country Mouse and the City Mouse by the Good and the Beautiful.
And we sang Hickory Dickory Dock with Caitie’s Classroom.
We reviewed all of the sounds we have learned so far with the Abeka Alphabet Flashcards.

Mouse Writing

The girls each had a similar writing paper for the letter M. My 3 year old had a capital M and lowercase m with tracing arrows, along with a mouse to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added a short poem and more tracing M’s and m’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the M is for Monkey, Mouse / Mice, & Magnet Teachers Pay Teachers pack.

m is for mouse Craft

I printed this M is for Monkey Craft onto cardstock for the girls to paint. I cut out the lower case “m” for them to paint gray. After that dried they glued it to a piece of yellow construction paper. Then I cut out the head, tail, and ears for them to glue on.

Seven Mice

The girls each had a similar number 7 paper for counting mice. My 3 year old had the number 7 with tracing arrows, along with a helpful poem, and 7 monkeys to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added more tracing 7’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the M is for Monkey, Mouse / Mice, & Magnet Teachers Pay Teachers pack.

Counting Cheese

I printed out the Counting Cheese game and then cut the pieces and laminated the pieces. She counted the cheese as she fed them to the mouse as she reviewed her numbers.

Mouse Ten Frame

I printed out the Mouse Ten Frame game and then cut the pieces and laminated them. Then she would tell me what the number is on the Momma Mouse’s sign. Then she counted out the correct number of cubs to add to the ten frame.

Mouse House

I made a Color House Mouse game out of felt. I hide the mouse behind a house and she flips over each colored house until she can find the house mouse. Then she got a turn to hide the mouse for me.

Field Mouse Shapes

I printed out the Field Mouse Shape game and then cut the pieces and laminated them. Then she reviewed her shapes as she matched up the bees with the honeycomb.
