If You're A Monster and You Know It

This week for large group we read the book If You're A Monster and You Know It by Rebecca and Ed Emberley.  This book is similar to the song If You're Happy and You Know It.  We worked on gross motor skills and identifying body parts as we moved the way the monsters moved in the book.  The monsters in the book snorted and growled, smacked their hands, stomped their paws, twitched their tails, wiggled their noses and gave a ROAR.  We worked on comprehension as we tried to remember some of the ways the monsters moved.  We also worked on using "ing" words as we talked about what the monsters were doing....smacking, stomping, twitching, wiggling, growling and roaring.  We sang and danced to the song If You're a Monster and You Know It.
