Roscoe Riley Rules #1

(AR level 2.9)

Roscoe Riley is learning about bees and other important things in his first rule book: Roscoe Rile Rules #1: Never Glue Your Friends toChairs by Katherine Applegate.

Here’s some ways your child can learn about bees too.

First things, first. A pair of bee bobbles for the day is a must!

Then, watch a couple of videos-

Roscoe is in charge of bringing goo sticks, scissors and paper to school, what is your favorite craft to make with these supplies? Use these items to create your own bees and honeycomb.

Have a lunch of peanut butter and honey sandwiches, bananas (with no yucky spots) and fishy crackers.

Introduce your child to rhythm using any form of sticks that are convenient for you, and play along with 4 Square. 

Talk about rules and consider making a simple rule reminder with bee prompts. 

Talk about emotions and facial expressions. Use a pair of stick-on eyebrows (or strips of black felt with tape) and a mirror for the child to practice different expressions, including the epic eyebrow raise.

Finish the day with a juice box war and a slice of mom’s banana-avocado-raisin cream pie. Just kidding.

Work together to make giant chocolate cupcake with lots of gooey icing with sprinkles.

Remember, you can always check out our Pinterest board for even more fun and book spark ideas.
