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: Rainbow Arch

Let’s color a rainbow today! Click here for the rainbow arch pattern and put out crayons for all the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple). You can show the children a picture of a rainbow so they know what it looks like and what colors to use. Some children, depending on their skill level will be able to choose the colors in the order they go and will be able to color with them in the arch shape. Other children may mix up the order of the colors and color in various ways on their arch shape and that is okay. Allow them to color it however they’d like to. It is all about the process they are going through learning how to hold the crayon properly, learning about the different colors and strengthening the muscles in their hands which is a great fine motor skill.
