Thurs Sept 29th- Opposites: happy/sad & noisy/quiet

I did something different for scissor time- I had the kids roll out play dough to snakes and then they cut the play dough with the scissors. Upstairs the children played and then went on to circle time. Molly helped us with our colors and shapes and we had calendar and alphabet time. We continued to practice the two sounds of “C” and then had snack time after we wiggled with the wiggle song. For our last activity on Jack Be Nimble, we talked about what nimble and quick means. We completed a worksheet on what animals are nimble and quick and which ones are not. We also all passed off the Jack Be Nimble poem to Miss Alisha. It was opposites day so we started with our opposites song and then I read two stories- one about what makes us happy and one about what can make us feel sad. I took a picture of them making happy faces and then sad faces. For table time, each child colored a happy/sad puppet and we used these to review these emotions. For noisy and quiet lesson, our class discussed places that are noisy and those that are quiet. I brought out all of my musical instruments and we rotated using all of them. I had the students create noisy sounds and then we would make quiet sounds. Nothing like hands on experiments to get three year olds excited! For “C” time, we sang our C song and made the letter C with our bodies. I stamped the little c on each of the children’s hands and we had a few minutes to play with the chalk outside. Play time and our faces- happy and sad
