What a Miracle

I had a large crowd and I have caught a cold so it was a little too much today. They loved the puppet show. They really didn't want to sit after the first book so it was a good 2nd book to do - very interactive. The puppet show was okay but I forgot the put the tiger away thing.

Fingerplay
Snow on my forehead

snow on my glasses
getting hard to see

Snow on my boots
snow on my hair
snow on my mittens

Some of the kids were having a great time listening to the books and music. Others were having a great time seeing what they could get into and they did. At least they all had a good time!

Early Head Start - Colors

A bit of a circus but here is what I did.

One by Otoshi - no one was listening, I plowed on
Pete the Cat - I love my white shoes by Litwin

Flannel - Brown Bear Brown Bear - extension with puppets

Songs-
If you're wearing red
If you're happy and you know it
The more we get together
I know a chicken - with shakers
Song cube - they really liked this and each child got a turn

The kids were all over the place as usual. Touching the books, taking the flannels and puppets, etc.

Then the little boy who didn't want a shaker threw up on the floor. That was it! We finished the song and I left. Wow!

Might have one more EHS in Feb but then they are moving.
