Today we continue to explore strawberries. We went on a strawberry hunt around the school to find strawberries. The strawberries had the children’s name on them and we read the letters on each strawberry. The children then picked their strawberry when they found it.

After the hunt we went back to the classroom to read The Little  Mouse and the Big Red Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear and had different picture that went along with the book. Then after some children went over to the projector and acted out the book again.
