Early Head Start - Pigs

I only had toddlers today but they were a handful.

Books:
Zoink! by Most
Day by Day by Gal

Songs
The more we get together
The tail of the pig goes round and round
If you're a piggy and you know it
Ten piggies in a row
May there always be sunshine
Jumping and Counting
I know a chicken

Puppets
The Pig went moo

Went okay but the kids were all over the place. I am guessing they have been inside too much because of rain. I was thinking about doing some flannels and I brought them but they would not have been very good for this group. The shakers went well.

Just found out that Early Head Start is moving to another area next year. I will be doing something else I guess.

Food with toddlers

Books:
Apple Cake by Casey
Munch and Crunch by London
Ten Little Rabbits by Grossman

Flannels:
Five little cupcakes
Five little hotdogs

Finger play
Pat a cake

Songs
Hello and Goodbye songs with signs
Hands are for clapping
Jumping and counting
Ice cream song with shakers
Veggie Island with shakers
What a miracle

This one went pretty well. The 3rd book was not too successful, the kids ignored me and the parents loved it.

Food with preschoolers

In honor of Thanksgiving, I did food for the preschoolers today.

Books:
Feathers for lunch by Ehlert
The Duckling gets a cookie by Willems
The little kids table by Riehl

Songs
Fruits and Veggies unite
Spaghetti legs
If you're hungry and you know it
Oats and beans and barley grow with shakers
Aiken Drum writing on white board (on uke)
I am a pizza with shakers (on uke)

Craft - pizza on a paper plate

The parents participated pretty well today. I passed out the words for the songs

They really liked all the books. This was a good one.

I had so many things I wanted to do (Lots of little pigs on flannel) but they were not going to stand/sit for it. The kids were all over the place for the 2nd book but I did it anyway with loud voices and they started to listen about half way through.
