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: Pirates
Today we are going to learn about pirates. You can show the children pictures of pirates and ask the children what they see in the photo. What are the pirates wearing, what do you think the pirate is like, do they seem friendly? Here are a couple child friendly pirate websites that you will be able to find some great information on. The Pirate Ship and The Fraizer History Museum. You can read over the information on this before you share it with your children just so you have an idea of what you will share with them.
