Caps for Sale!!

"Caps. Caps for Sale. Fifty cents a cap!"

Hopefully you are familiar with this story - Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina (don't ask me to pronounce the name!)
A classic for sure! We acted it out today -- Ms. Naomi narrated this story, Ms. Larisa was the peddler and the children were the monkeys. It went very well and the children were so fascinated that Ms. Larisa could be an actress.....




To follow up with this story, we made caps for Art today. Most of the children didn't wear them afterwards, but a few did.

She wore hers the entire time. 

Coloring and adding stickers to the cap.
It's serious business.

This was only the beginning of adding stickers. 
It was completely covered by the end...

Caps. Caps for Sale. Fifty cents a cap!
