Educational. Social. Playful.

Greeting

Find and sit on your circle time mat.  Greet your friends with the song 'Hello Neighbor!'.  Read Fly High Little Bird.

Morning Stretch

"Point to your nose, reach down to your toes, wiggle your hips, and bend your elbows.  Reach up high to the sky,  reach down low to the floor, stretch to the window, and stretch to the door.  Whisper 'shhhhh' and sit quietly on the floor."

Morning Work

Calendar

Sing the 'Days of the Week'.  Discuss today's theme and activities.

Weather

Observe the weather through the window and discuss proper clothing using flashcards.

Numbers

Count to 10 on your fingers.  Sing along with 'Ten Little Numbers'.
