Building Sentences:
Look at pages 4 and 5 in the Giants made by People Book. Talk about the Great Wall of China pointing out what they used to make the wall. Discuss other materials that can be used to build a wall. Talk about how to make a wall you place items side by side. Today you will build sentences like you build a wall by putting words side by side. Using blank note cards to build a sentence. Choose a picture from a favorite book or a picture from a magazine. Have your child give you a sentence that tells about the picture. Write one word on each card and put the sentence in order. Count the words in the sentence then talk about how the sentence could grow by adding more words.
Example:
The mom is planting flowers.
The little girl is helping her mom planting flowers.
The little girl is helping her mom plant red and orange flowers.
