the week we moved max and i hosted wee school. only on tuesday...once i found out we would be moving on saturday, i cancelled school on thursday, and just dropped off packets to all the kids with the activities i'd planned to do on thursday. here's the tuesday run down:
We started out the morning coloring our letter "F"s and repeating the "f" sound with words: "F is for Frog, F is for farmer, F is for fruit," etc.
Then we focused on "F is for Flowers!"
We glued our noodle flowers onto plates and painted and decorated them.
next we sang our flower song (sung to the tune of Frair Jaques):
How do flowers grow?
How do flowers grow?
Big and tall!
Big and tall!
Lots of sun and water,
dirt and air,
Watch them grow!
Watch them grow!
We first sang the song together and then acted out being little seeds, getting covered with dirt, sprinkled with water (tickles), then pulling off the dirt (blanket) for air and sun. Our little seeds grew so tall!
Our next activities:
We played "Build a Flower" by rolling the die, counting the dots, and finding the flower piece that matched the correct number.
Then flower puzzles,
and flower sizing small, medium, and big.
For story and snack time we read "A Rose in My Garden"--I loved this book as a kid, looking at all the different flowers growing in the garden, and also trying to find the little bugs hiding in the garden. The girls really got into finding everything!
