▷ I am a Koala

I am a koala,
Yes, it’s true.
I am not a bear,
Did I fool you?
One of my cousins
Is the kangaroo.
I carry my baby
In a pouch too.
- by Gayle Bittinger

▷ Kangaroo, Kangaroo

Kangaroo, kangaroo,
How you love to hop.
Going this way, going that,
Don’t you ever stop?
- by Susan M Paprocki

*Kilograms- discuss that people can be weighed in Kilograms and pounds.



Social Studies
Kings- Discuss the roles of kings, help her understand what a king does and that they really exist! The Letter of the week program calls for learning about different kings in history, but I'm not sure this will be relevant for her. She can't even full understand what last year means, never mind a few hundred years. I'll feel confident if she can just learn some basic information.
