Teachable moments

I found this guy hanging out in the door frame of my house trying to stay warm.

I doubt in 40° weather he'll go far from that crack. So, later today I will use interest in him as a "teachable moment" by relating the real world to the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" to talk about what happens, encourage reading, counting and speaking.

But he was still hungry...

As a parent/caregiver be hungry, look for such opportunities to relate the world to the  books, videos and games that do get their interest. Then share.
