1. Sang Good afternoon song
2. Shirley asked tots if they can remember the color of the mice in the book she showed them last week. She said there are brown color mice, white color mice, etc. We are going to do a craft mice using grey color. Tots were to paint their palms with grey paint then stamp their palms on a piece of white paper. Parents to look for a short pointed side and use that as a guid of a mouse's nose. Tots to use index finger to stamp 2 ears of a mouse and draw a long tail for the mouse. Shirley said making a craft from scratch then making craft from a pre-drawn picture stretch tot's imagination.
3. Shirley asked tots to go forward and show tot a picture of a few mice in a cage. She asked tots to spot the mice. She asked tots what is in the cage (pointing to a ladder and slide) and what is the ladder and slide for. They are for the mice to exercise. She pointed to picture of a bowl and a container and told tots if you keep mice at home, you give them food like cereal in a food bowl and water in the bottle. In the wild, nobody gives mice food and water. They eat anything they can find. Where do mice live in the wild? They live in holes, on the tree.4. Tots were given pictures of bird, rhinoceros, giraffe, kangeroo, elephant, seal, monkey, mouse to do an activity on Animals and their food.
Shirley asked how big is a mouse? Can it eat a tiger? Why not? She said ask tots questions like this to set them thinking. Herbivores eat plants and fruits. Plants and fruits are there all the time. So, herbivores tend to be big. Giraffe, rhinoceros, kangeroo, elephant are herbivores.
Monkeys in the zoo are fed bananas and nuts but in the wild, bigger monkeys eat smaller monkeys, eggs, fruits. Mice in the wild eat insects, fruits. Monkey and mouse are omnivores. There are many types of birds. Sparrows and pigeons eat fruits, worms, insects. They are omnivores. Shirley said that Hummingbird is herbivore. It feeds on nectar. However, I read in the web that hummingbirds feed on nectar and insects (bugs). So, Hummingbirds should be omnivore. 
Seal is carinivore. They live in the ocean. They eat fishes. Owls, eagles are birds of prey. They eat animals. Shirley advised parents to teach tots anatomy of animals by asking questions like What is elephant's tusk for? To protect itself. Likewise for rhinoceros's honk. What does giraffe use to eat leaves on the tree? It uses it's long neck to reach out leaves on the trees
What do the animals in "Little mouse wants an apple" use to get it's food or catch it's prey?
