Circle Time

Review – Start your preschool day with Circle Time and sing the “I Can Sit Down” song (Improvise your tune)

                                                I can sit down as quite as can be.
                                                I can sit down just to look at me.
                                                I can sit down as quite as can be.
                                                I can sit down just to look at me.

Then sing the “Hi There” song. (Improvise your tune) 

                                                Hi there, so glad you came.
                                                Hi there, so glad you came.
                                                Hi there, so glad you came.
                                                One two three let’s shout HOORAY.
                                                Hi there, so glad you’re here.
                                                Hi there, so glad you’re here.
                                                Hi there, so glad you’re here.
                                                One two three let’s give a cheer. Yay

Next do your Special Help activity.

Look at the calendar and sing the “Days of the Week” song. (Tune of the “Adams Family”) 

                                                Well there’s Sunday and there’s Monday,
                                                there’s Tuesday and there’s Wednesday,
                                                there’s Thursday and there’s Friday and then there’s Saturday.
                                                Days of the week. (Clap hands 2 times).
                                                Days of the week. (Clap hands 2 times).
                                                Days of the week. Days of the week. Days of the week. (Clap hands 2 times).

This is a great time to review the days of the week, months of the year and the number of the day. Then check the weather and compare it to your weather dial.

Discussion: Brushing Teeth

Show the children the "Extra Content" Brushing Teeth video for them to learn how to brush their teeth correctly. Then on a stuffed animal show the child how to properly brush their teeth. Place toothbrush at a slight upward angle on the outside of the back bottom teeth. Make small circular motions on all the bottom teeth, then do the same circular motion on the inside of the bottom teeth. Once done with the bottom teeth move to the top teeth and do the same thing to keep that smile shining.

Next have the children pretend their finger is their toothbrush and have them practice on a stuffed animal.*

Music and Movement: It’s great to have healthy teeth but it’s also great to keep our bodies healthy. Doing exercises is a wonderful way to keep us healthy and happy. So let’s hop on one leg!
