Activities:
- Helpers this week: Colten
- Theme this week: Here comes the circus!
- Art projects: clown, and we worked on a story for our booklet of experiences!
- Dora's clues this week were: a clown, a lion tamer, a unicycle rider and a juggler...... All the pictures work in the circus! There was a clown in the backpack for the children to color at home!
- Mortimer the puppet introduced the letter "P" - he found a Pink Pig friend in the woods!
- We've got mail: We found an activity that showed us how to make a bird feeder! We cut an orange in half, cut 3- 12 inch pieces of yarn and criss-cross them setting orange in the center where the strings meet - then tie all loose ends together and hang in a tree!
- Dismiss for snack activities were: mitten match and number match exercises
- Stories: The Loudest Roar, Clifford at the Circus, and Bozo the Clown
- We looked at pictures of how clowns put on their make-up. Clowns aren't so scary now that we know they are just regular people with lots of make-up on, and funny noses or maybe a wig!
- Songs: Circus Clown, and Pop! Goes the Clown!: " All around the circus tent, The clown was acting silly! The monkey thought 'twas all in fun, Pop! Goes the clown!"
