Counting Spring

Can you count from 0-10?

Toys: Magnetic numbers, puzzles, Dress Ups, 1-2-3 Counting Game, and Cookie Counting Jar.

Circle Time:
We sang a lot of fun counting songs today, including 5 Little Ducks, 10 Little Monkeys, This Old Man, and 12345 Once I Caught a Fish Alive

We read a book In the Springtime (told from the perspective of a baby deer). We also listened to Guess How Much I Love You. We sang Popcorn Popping and Its Spring Again. (We were excited to finish up our "work" so we can go and find the "popcorn" on the fruit trees at recess).

We read Arlene Alda's 1-2-3s book and then played a fun game of "I Spy" numbers around the classroom.


Snack: Apple slices and blueberries* (*Maelo loves fresh fruit and his mother brought in apples and blueberries for us to enjoy as we celebrated Maelo today!)

Recess/Springtime Search--We enjoyed going outside and looking for signs of Spring (blooming trees and flowers, buds on trees, birds in the trees/air.)

Maelo's Un-Birthday Celebration:

Maelo's favorite color is blue. At home his favorite thing to do is organizing and packing his toys into little boxes! He loves reading Little Critter books. Maelo loves to dance to the "Crazy Frog" song (found on YouTube) and sing Twinkle Twinkle little star.
