Wed Feb 29th- patience

Wednesdays are the great chance for us to work on our scissor skills. I had tinker toys, food and links out for play. Sally helped the class work on reading our color sight words and spelling them. After which we leaped like frogs to 29 in honor of leap year and then counted to 14 in Spanish. I reviewed our date- February 29th and how it comes along once every four years. We sang our days of the week in Spanish and then reviewed the days. We sang our winter song followed by weather time and dressing our weather friend for the day. ABC boogie was next and then we worked on our sign language alphabet. I reviewed the sight words of the week and then we wiggled to a song that Sally picked. The class ate their snacks and then explored the books as it was the last day of the February library. Sally shared her show and tell and I read a few stories to the class. We discussed patience- what it is, when you need it and why. I talked about growing seeds and what things you need for them to grow-water, sunlight and soil. After that, we went to the table to complete a patience book about seeds and how we have to wait for them to grow but the payoff is beautiful! For letter time, I read Alphabet Mystery and reviewed our sight words of the week.
