March 5-8 Read Alouds

This is a super fun story about 5 little monkeys that are bored and have nothing to do.  Mama finds things for them to do though!  The monkeys clean the house because Grandma Bessie is coming for lunch.  But wait...  the end makes me laugh and giggle out loud because it reminds me of my own house when my children were small.  By the time Grandma Bessie arrived the house was messy again!  Silly monkeys :}

Target Vocabulary: 

whispers, shadowy, frightens, jokes

RHYMING:

This is a fun story about the 5 little monkeys.  There are lots of rhymes on each page that I will focus on when we read the story.  Remember...  research says that if children are able to identify rhymes in their  preschool/Kindergarten years they will be much more likely to be good readers by 3rd grade.  Try to add a nursery rhyme or two to your day.  Children love them because they are fun!
