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: Christmas in Mexico
Today we are learning about Christmas in Mexico! Below is a link to a great site that has information and some pictures. You will want to prepare for this ahead of time and figure out what you’d like to learn about with your children. So read it ahead of time, print out what you'd like to use and be prepared with information and pictures.
What I have done is print out the pictures I'd like to use then write on the back of them the information I'd like to share with them.
