Monkey Business

This week in first grade we are going to have a little monkey business going on during our reading time.  We are reinforcing our reading skills using the book, Caps for Sale.

As we were making text to text connections, my first graders came up with a list of other monkey books that they have read or would recommend to their friends:

Curious George

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

Five Little Monkeys Sitting in the Tree

Five Little Monkeys Reading A Book

Five Little Monkeys Baking A Birthday Cake

Five Little Monkeys Wash the Car

Monkey Monkey's Trick

Good Night Gorilla

More Spaghetti, I Say

I found a wonderful poem about a monkey in the book Pick A Poem.

  ( My favorite poetry book this year.) 

 The title of the poem is, Monkey's Meal. 

 I typed up the poem for the children's poetry notebook and made a follow up worksheet.
