Group Meeting: Last week, I read the book, Interrupting Chicken. I chose this story because interrupting has been a problem during Group Meeting and story time. I am challenging the children to not interrupt a friend or teacher and instead wait and/or raise a hand for a turn to talk. To help us with this challenge, I made a chart with five little chickens on it. If someone interrupts, I remove a chicken. If at least one chicken remains at the end of the day, we get to do something fun or select something to take home. We're doing well!
Story: Once again, I read the book Jack and the Beanstalk. This time, the children voiced the words of the giant, "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum!". We also talked about how Jack became greedy. He had taken the hen that laid the golden eggs but returned to get the golden harp. This might be a hard concept for some children. We talked about being happy with what we have.
Small Groups: The children planted bean seeds to grow their own beanstalk. We added a popsicle stick with a castle at the top so that our beanstalks can grow up to reach it, just like the story.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was Ff. The tub contained a feather, fish, fan, four, football, and a fork. We traced and printed the letter Ff and found the letter in print.
Snack: The snack for today was Clementine oranges, milk and water.
The morning class had a special guest today. Isabel's grandfather, Dan Dickens, came at the end of the day to lead us in a few songs. Mr. Dickens is a retired teacher. Thank you, Isabel, for sharing your grandfather with us.
