Puzzle Pieces
Puzzles are an important piece of the MCP curriculum. If you are working with your preschooler at home make sure you have a wide variety of puzzles. This is one of my favorites because it is hard and the kids love it. There is great reward in solving a difficult puzzle.

Moose Munch Mix 2020
You and your child can learn about moose at home. Make some Moose Munch Mix for a Fun Food Friday snack. Sticks (pretzel sticks), pine cones (Coco Puffs cereal), snowballs and snowflakes (yogurt raisins and white chocolate chips), straw and hay (potato sticks) and wild berries (m & m's) put the 'fun' in Fun Food Friday.
- Moose are the largest of the deer family.
- We do not have moose or elk in our area but a lot of white tailed deer.
- Moose, elk and deer are mammals. They are covered with fur.
- The males have antlers. The antlers fall off (shed) and the males grow bigger antlers.
- Moose, elk and deer are herbivores.
- Males...moose and elk are bulls. Male deer are bucks.
- Females...moose and elk are cows. Female deer are does.
- Babies...moose and elk are calves. Baby deer are fawns and have spots when they are young.
- So many great vocabulary words-mammals, herbivores, shed and more.
