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: Spiders
In this activity, Miss Cullen interactively starts the day and introduces the four parts of Circle Time: Special Helper, Calendar, Today’s Weather and the Theme Discussion. You may click the this link or the "Extra Content" button about to watch the video.
After Miss Cullen introduces a part of Circle Time she announces and holds up a “Teacher Helper Time” sign. You should pause the video and lead the class offline through that part of Circle Time. When you are done click play on the video to continue to the next part of Circle Time.
Today we are going to talk all about Spiders! Count the number of legs on a spider with Miss Cullen. Look at a spider web and an anchor line, before discussing how a spider web is made and what the spider silk is used for (examples - nests, webs, catching prey, etc.).
