We reviewed the nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle" and listened for the rhyming words. Then we read a special rocket counting story. We practiced counting the objects on each page. It was a special story because there were also numbers hidden on each page that we had to try to find!
Later in the day, we also read a silly story about a lady who wanted a star. She tried all different forms of transportation to get to the star, such as a bike, car, roller skates, and airplane but none of them worked until she used a rocket! This story had many different rhyming words that we had fun listening for!
We visited centers and rotated to a new one - either the Hey Diddle Diddle grid game, the Hey Diddle Diddle rhyming game, or the name constellations. One group had so much fun with the Hey Diddle Diddle rhyming game that they wanted to keep playing that instead of having free choice playtime! :)
We also played. Some children got to play in the early childhood classroom too.
Miss McCabe was working with some friends on color identification. We used color pointers to try to find specific colors around our classroom. This became a big hit and now everybody wants to use Miss McCabe's pointers at playtime to go on a color hunt! :)
We also spent some time reviewing the new shapes we learned yesterday (cylinder, rectangular prism, sphere, cone, etc.). Then we used some of the new shapes to build our own rockets! One group used cubes to build their rockets while another used cylinders.
Do you know about Aikendrum? We learned a song about him today! He is a man that lives in the moon and plays upon a ladle. We learned what a ladle is. The song was funny because he had spaghetti hair, meatball eyes, a cheese nose, and a pizza mouth! Then we made up other silly versions to sing, such as sock hair, a candy cane mouth, an apple nose, and m&m eyes! It was a lot of fun!
We finally found time in the morning to play the "What's Missing? Astronaut" game to work on vocabulary! Then it was time to play outside!
Remember that tomorrow is book check-out. Please make sure to return the book your child checked-out last week so he/she can choose a new book to take home tomorrow!
Have a great evening!
