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: What happens at the circus?
Today we are going to talk about the circus and sort circus animals. First, ask your child if they have ever gone to the circus. If they have been to a circus have them describe the different things they saw there. If they haven’t been to a circus tell them how at the circus you can find clowns, elephants, tigers doing tricks, and that there is a big tent that the circus is held in. Print out multiple photos of elephants, lions, tigers, seals and giraffes. Have your child sort the different photos by animals, size, color, etc.
