Yummy and Yucky


This week we read one of my favorite books!!! Yummy and Yucky by Leslie Patricelli.


We first talked about how we all like different types of food and it is OKAY if you like something and someone else does not. One of our puppets, Bob, read us the story "Yummy and Yucky" since the story repeats, the kids are encouraged to read along with Bob ("Bob" because that is our sound right now).


We asked a lot of yes and no questions about the foods that Bob likes or doesn't like and the kids answered yes and no too.

On the first day of our group, we took turns feeding Bob different types of foods after we read the book. We took turns asking him "Bob do you like....?" and we helped him answer either YES or NO. When he liked it, he ate it, but when he didn't he spit it out.

We also talked about even if you do not like a food, as your tongue and mouth get older, you like more and more and more foods and that is one way that you can know you are getting bigger!

To extend at home you could practice yes/no questions and depending on your own child you could:

·      Ask a yes/no with a visual of the object  “Do you want milk?” (prompt with two people if you can – talk to me about this if you are interested in what this means)
·      Ask yes/no about what your child likes

·      Help your child ASK yes/no questions to other people in the family or puppets. Make it a Round Robin game so you can take turns and model the questions for your kiddo. You could make it funny – “Do you like shoes?” or  “Do you like to eat shoes?” etc..

Targets:  

  • Vocabulary: Food terms, like, dislike, yummy, yucky
  • Yes/No questions 
    • Answering "yes" and "no"
    • Asking yes/no questions

For the last two weeks, we have been reading this silly little book called "Halloween Boo!" All of the kids LOOOOOOOOVE this book. It is a pretty simple book but they love it. Our "B" word is "Boo!!" I actually got this book from someone ages ago. If you want a copy for home, send me a message in remind and I can print you a copy.

Goodbye Questions! Hello to Conversation!

You have probably noticed that when adults are talking with children, adults tend to rely heavily on questions. “What’s...
