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: Transportation & Moving Objects

This is a fun way for children to learn about transportation vehicles and objects being transported. You can click each link to see the pictures of a truck, bus, car, train, plane, ship, taxi, fire truck, ambulance and rockets and show them to the children. You can ask the following questions and let the children decide which vehicle answers the questions.

1. Which one is used for going to the moon?

2. Which one travels on tracks?

3. Which one carries vegetables from farm to city?

4. Which two goes through the air?

5. Which one do we park in our garage?

6. Which one stops in many cities and carries many people?

7. Which one travels on the ocean?

8. Who comes when there is a fire?

9. What do people take from place to place when they don’t have a car; like going to the airport?
