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: My Plate-Learning about Food Groups

This website, choosemyplate.gov, has some great information about food groups and what is good for our bodies to eat and ways to stay healthy. They didn’t have a section for preschoolers but the link for grades 1 & 2 is packed full of great information for you and for your preschooler. The first 2 pages are really neat and you can print them out and talk about them with your children. The rest of the pages are packed full with information that you can read about, with activities to do and even songs to sing.

If you’d like to expand on these pages you could print out the first page that has the picture of the plate and print out some pictures of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy and have children place the pictures on the plate where they belong.
