Things to Talk About:
1. Talk about how we use our fingers, for example, for
eating, for coloring.
2. Discuss how we use our hands and fingers to communicate,
for example, okay, pointing, thumbs up, saying "hi,"
etc.

Mrs. O'Malley,
You old alley cat!
Why do you carry
Your kittens like that?
Walk lightly in a circle with backs hunched and arms hanging down.
I carry my kittens
The best way I know.
My babies go with me
Wherever I go!
Stop, pick up "kitten" from floor. Put "kitten" in mouth. Walk around again.
