Group Meeting: I read a book to the children called Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein. This story is about a little chick who is listening to a bedtime story being read to him by his papa. However, when the story gets exciting, the little chick interrupts his father. Papa Chicken asks the little chick to be polite and not interrupt him so that he can finish the story.
I read this story to start a discussion about waiting for a turn to talk. We've noticed a lot of children interrupting teachers and classmates in a hurry to talk. We will work on remembering to wait and raise a hand for a turn to talk so that we don't have any "interrupting chickens".😀
Story: I read Little Red Riding Hood again, today. During this re-read, I left out a few words for the children to add. We also talked about how this story could have ended differently if Little Red Riding Hood had listened to her mother.
Small Groups: The children were given seven clothespins with different letters printed on the end. They were also given a piece of paper with the characters from our story printed on it. Together, we identified the beginning sound of the character's name and selected the correct letter clothespin to attach to the picture.
Large Group: The children completed a "Count the Room" activity that corresponded with our story. They had to search the room for items from the story, count how many, and print the numeral below the picture.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was Pp. The letter tub contained a pink pig, pumpkin, pizza, paint brush, pickle, and pan.
Snack: The snack for today was pears, milk, and water.
