Circle Time

Here are some things the children and I discuss at circle time. Thought this would be helpful for you to practice and go over at home.

Songs-Let me know if you do not know the song
The wheels on the bus
The Days of the week
The alphabet
Old McDonald
Monkeys jumping on the bed
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Ring around the Rosie

Talk about the weather-Look out the window
Is it cold or hot
Cloudy or sunny
Rainy, snowy or clear
If they wore a coat, hat, boots etc

Talk about the senses-ask them for examples
Eyes are for seeing flowers
Nose is for smelling poopie diapers
Mouth is for tasting cookies
Ears are for listening Ms. Stacey
Hands are for touching toys

Look for colors-Colors are everywhere make it a game
Show them a color and ask them to find something in the house
Go over colors with flash cards
Talk about the colors they are wearing today

Talk about Numbers-count objects in the home together
We will count to 20
I will put up my fingers do simple math ie. 1+1, 2+1 etc
How many ears do I have, hands, fingers, eyes etc

Talk about Body Parts-never to early to discuss good touch and bad touch
Ask them to point to certain body parts

Self Image-Very important that they know they are beautiful inside and out!
Have them look into a mirror and ask them what they like about themselves
