We gave our elephants names and told stories using our puppets
Exercise:
Everyone got to be the Exercise Leader and we had to follow them. We talked about healthy habits and making sure we find time to exercise every day!
Mini "Field Trip":
We went to my next door neighbors backyard to check out their chicken coop.
Everyone got to look in the coop and find their very own Egg!
We talked about how they were different from the eggs we buy at the grocery store. The kids discovered that they were smaller, brownish colored and had speckles/spots!
Cooking:
We took our eggs back to the kitchen and hard boiled our eggs, so we could take them home without a mess! :)
It was fun to crack a raw egg and show them what was inside and then to break open a hard boiled egg to discover what was inside. Everyone got to sample the eggs and take home their very own to eat for lunch!
Birthday Fun:
We had TWO birthdays in our class this week!!!
They brought in treats to share with their friends, so we enjoyed CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES & RICE CRISPY TREATS outside on a picnic blanket!
If your kids came home hyper on Thursday, now you know why;) BUT they LOVED it! We love to celebrate birthdays together!
Rhyme & Activity:
Walked along a string, placed on the ground and "balanced" as we sang...
One little elephant went out to play,
on a tightrope string one day.
He had such enormous fun,
He called for another elephant to come.
(Keep increasing in numbers...until the tightrope breaks and they all come tumbling down)
Music:
