  • For each day of the week, have the children list foods that begin  with the same letter as that particular day: Monday, meatballs, macaroni,  mashed potatoes; Tuesday, tacos, tomatoes, tuna; etc. Children can work in  small groups to illustrate the various pages.
  • I made picture  cards of the animals and of the food and the days of the week, laminated  them, and put velcro on the back. Then, after reading the story, I would  use the felt board, and have the children match the animal to the food.  I would switch it the second week. We also ate the foods for snack. We sang  the song everyday.
