In the early Wee morning, Sloane offered to play the piano so that her friends could dance to/act out Sleeping Beauty.

As  other friends arrived, we invited them to play a rhyming game (Literacy FAB K.1.10). They picked a card and next to it, wrote a rhyming word.

We conducted a science experiment using rocks and corks. We asked “Will it sink or float? Why?”

Friends experimented with other materials as well.

A small group of friends sat on the music rug and counted rhythms using a drum and rhythm sticks. On the drum we made the sounds of different animals walking and explored heavy/light, fast/slow, quiet/loud. We sang a WF version of “Wheels on the Bus”: “When Marta’s on the bus we sing M- M- M, M- M- M, M- M- M” and every friend guessed and sang his/her letter.

We pulled the Feely Box out and, using fingertips as eyes, guessed what it was we were feeling.

Then Melinda lined up several objects and had friends study them. They looked away, she pulled one out and friends guessed which object was missing.

Hide-outs.

A great start to our week! Hope your Monday is going well.
