Fat Cat

This week for large group, we read and talked about the book, What Will Fat Cat Sit On? by Jan Thomas.  Fat Cat likes to sit and relax.  Fat Cat sometimes wants to sit on things he shouldn't.  As we read the book, we talked about the pictures and what we thought the animals were thinking and feeling based on the expressions on their faces.  We also talked about the words "no" and "not".  

After we read the book, the kids got to meet my friend Fat Cat.  We talked about how Fat Cat spends most of the day trying to find a place to sit.  We talked about how Fat Cat wanted to sit somewhere in our classroom.   We played a game where we would close our eyes while Fat Cat found a place to sit in the classroom and then we would have to find him.  Some of us helped Fat Cat find a place to sit and then some of us helped find him. When we found where Fat Cat was sitting, we used our words to tell the class where he was.  We found Fat Cat on things, under things, behind things, in front of things, in things and next to things.
