This week began with the class talking about bobcats and a review of the main topics learned during the month of May. Some of topics that we reviewed were the colors black and white, the eight shapes in the Shape Caterpillar display, the ten cards in the “How Many Fingers?” number display and all of the teaching vocabulary cards for the month. It was exciting to see what the children remembered!
On Wednesday, we began a new month with new topics to learn. We have a new puppet friend and a new song. The puppet is a dog and the song is “Where Oh Where.”
“Where oh where has my little dog gone
Where oh where can he be?
With his tail so short and his ears so long
Oh where oh where can he be….”
This song is a favorite and popular with our friends.
On Thursday, the topic of Dinosaurs was introduced. We explored small toy dinosaurs and used them in creative ways. The students made dinosaur prints with white paint on colored construction paper; gave the toy dinosaurs a bath in the sensory table, and explored two-piece dinosaur puzzles. The character-building card, “Responsibility” was introduced and discussed with the class. The children talked about Dinosaurs and the concept of responsibility as the book “Caillou, Plays Dinosaur Hide –and-Seek” was read to the class. The children explored the concept of being responsible when we talked and cared for dolls during dramatic playtime.
On Friday, the class explored the “Find the Fossils Flip Chart.” We talked about museums; explored construction vehicles in the rice table and tools in the block area.
What a great week!
