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: Book Reading & Baking Pumpkin Bread

We are going to learn about pumpkins through the story called Farmer Mike Grows Giant Pumpkins. I interactively read this book for your children and we will learn about pumpkins through this Farmer Mike book together.

When you are finished reading the book you can go to Extra Content make some pumpkin bread. To elaborate on pumpkins let’s make pumpkin bread. Here is the video to make the bread with children and here is the recipe if you’d like to print it out. Make sure you have all the ingredients before you get started making the bread.
