Early Reader: Octopus Goes to School

Even an octopus must gather supplies around his cave as he prepares to wave good-bye to Mom on his way to school. A familiar event in an unusual setting. Activities that can extend this book into other areas of the curriculum or into the home are endless. Here are just a few ideas. Have fun! Use geoboards to make octagons. -List equations for the number eight. Use a box of eight crayons or markers as the counters. -Play ''What's Missing?'' with school supplies. Lay several items on a table. Take an item away while the rest of the group is not looking. Players guess which item is missing. -Decorate a lunch bag with pictures of sea life. Place a healthy lunch in the bag and have a picnic on an imaginary beach. -Eat fish crackers while reading.
