Group Meeting: Today was Hat Day. We took a few minutes to admire the hats the children wore. If a child forgot a hat, we provided materials to make a hat or headband. We learned the song, "My Hat Has Three Corners".
Story: The story for today was Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina. A cap peddler travels to a city to try to sell his caps. He carries them stacked up on his head. He yells, "caps for sale, fifty cents a cap". However, no one wants a cap. He walks into the country to rest. He finds a tall shade tree to sit under and falls asleep. When he wakes up, his caps are gone. Ask your child to tell you what happened to the caps and how the man gets them back.
Small Groups: The children played a game with their hats. We placed them on the table. Everyone closed their eyes while one person took a hat away. Everyone had to guess whose hat was missing.
Large Group: The children listed to "How Many Ways Can You Carry a Beanbag?" and moved to the directions.
Snack: The snack for today was wheat bread, ham slices, cheese slices, and water.
