We had a little extra fun with 5 classic nursery rhymes. We gave our large muscles a workout with "Jack be Nimble." The kids had a blast pretending to be Jack and jumping over the candle stick!
As you can see some of them can really jump!
We also had a lot of fun with "Pat-A-Cake! The kids made their own cakes out of play-doh, and they worked really hard to find their letter. Some even had fun cooking their cakes on the grill. It is so much fun watching their imaginations going. They come up with some great activities all on their own! We worked on our writing/ tracing skills and used a pen and paper to decorate a paper cake with the first letter of our name. The kids are really doing great and working hard on their names. I am very proud of them!
Next we had some fun with "Humpty Dumpty." The kids had fun making their own Humpty Dumpty with Mr. Potatoe Head, and then they worked on their fine motor skills and ripped up paper to make their own Humpty Dumpty to bring home. It was a very difficult skill for them, but they worked really hard and ended up with some very cute Humpty Dumptys!
We also worked on some higher level thinking skills and made bridges to go over the water in our "London Bridges" center. The kids came up some pretty elaborate plans and loved having the cars go over and under the bridges they built!
Finally we made some cute spiders with our hands to celebrate "Itsy Bitsy Spider." It was a great day full of song and activity. Thank you so much for sharing your kids with me. It is such a joy to have all of them in class every week.
