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: Farm

Today we will be learning about what is on a farm. Click here to find farm pictures and information. You can print out the pictures and information under each picture to show the children and tell them about each picture. Hold up one picture at a time and ask the children what they see (colors, animals, any information they have) and then you can elaborate on the information they have given with the information you have.

Music & Movement: Old McDonald had a Farm is a great song to sing to go along with our Down on the Farm theme. It is fun to add more items into the song. Have children think of other things that are on the farm and add some of their own thoughts.
