About This Program: Furry Animals
In this program children and parents will spend the first half-hour engaged in separate activities. These activities prepare them for the interactive literacy activities during the second part of the program. The program activities include—
1. A separate Early Childhood Education segment in
which the children participate in a storytime and dramatization based
on the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff.
2. A separate Parenting Education segment in which families—
• learn how to share the non-fiction book, The Furry
Animal Alphabet Book, with their children, and
• learn a finger rhyme about the Billy Goats Gruff to teach their
children.
3. An Integrated Literacy segment in which children
and their families—
• read The Furry Animal Alphabet Book
together, and
• play a pantomime game in which they act out some of the interesting
facts they learned about the animals in the book.
A poem page, patterns for making Billy Goat Gruff masks, suggested program
extensions, and several related resources are included. The whole program
will take approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.
