A is for Alligator

For our first day with letter A, we focused on alligators.  

We read "Alligator Baby" by Robert Munsh.

Some other good books about alligators that our library didn't have (sad day):
'Alligator Alphabet' by Stella Blackstone and 'Snip Snap, What's That' by Mara Bergman


Then we made this alligator A from totally tots
Colored this fabulous picture which I just googled in 30 seconds.

Sang the song "Five little monkey's swinging in the tree".  It is one of my daughters favorites because Grandma taught it to her. 

Then we told the story of 'The Monkey and the Crocodile".  I'd made several felt story book character things many years ago and this just so happened to be one.  I read the story, but I changed it from crocodile to alligator, and Addy acted it out with the pieces.
