Tuesday March 10


I think one of the most enjoyable themes we explore every year is the "fairy tale" theme. The whole concept of fairy tales just tickles your imagination and leads you on to remembering and retelling our old favorite nursery rhymes.
On Tuesday we recited "Humpty Dumpty" while visually playing out the story with the characters on our felt board. Later on at activity time I found the children going back to the felt board and reciting the rhyme by themselves.

Wednesday March 11

On Wednesday we read the book "Ten Cats Have Hats". This is a rhyming book which has the children count up to ten. For the fun of it, I gave each child a paper painter's hat with which they could tap their hats to the numbers in the story. For example, when the book said "ten cats have hats" the children touched their caps 10 times. Afterwards, the children personalized their hats with markers and crayons.
