A Little red house....reading again

I love this amazing story, which my teacher in college shared with us. Now I found the story here, in Miss B's classroom and want to share with you the story and my experience.
I hide in by Basket- Suitcase all the characters: farm animals, little girl, and musical instruments.(The Story-noisemaker you can find somewhere in next post). Children had a musical instruments and guessed the sounds, which characters made. We had a lot of fun.
Suddenly, we start to talk about the town, full of red houses...Red, yellow or green! Do you know where that town is?

To create this wonderful orchard you will need:

10 little hands;

5 brown paper lunch bags;

5 sheets  of green tissue paper;

5 brown paper towel rolls

A lot red, yellow and green round stickers (we also used for older children crumpled tissue paper and glue with white glue)

Tonnes of news paper to stuff lunch bags.

And a lot of fun with ripping and  crumpling news paper!

Have fun!

How do animals share food

We continued to talk about upcoming winter and how animals survive through it.
If you look my post before here, you will find a story-noisemaker "Winter in the forest".
To help children better understand it I set up my harvest basket in this way:

"Hey! Look what I bring you today! This is my harvest basket with vegetables and fruits! But I here weird sound...did you?"

I used the same musical instruments as I used with children to tell the story "Winter in the forest"

And children heard that!!! They recognize the sound how squirrels cracked nuts and mice  nibbled (chomped) grain.

So, we look in the basket and find there 

Mouse, Rabbit (Bunny), Hedgehog, Squirrel.

Why they hiding there? Oh, yes! They are looking for the food!

Let's help them to find their food.

What does Bunny eat?

Carrot, Cabbage, Apple (sure!), 

What does Mouse eat?

Grain, maybe Carrot, maybe Pumpkin?

What does Hedgehog eat?

Apples, Apples!!!!

What does Squirrel eat?

Nuts and mushrooms!!!

We were jumping as a Bunnies, crawling as a Hedgehog, singing as a Mouse and knocking wooden sticks as a Squirrel!

Join us and 

Have fun!

For planning this lesson I have used story-noisemaker and songs of Catherine and Sergey Zheleznov.

Breakfast for Cathy

We start to talk about time - children 2-3 years are aware about seasons, day night changes and routine during the day (hours).  We learn time on the clock easy - it is time when Mom coming - big arm on 12, small arm on 5. Parents are very good they always in time!
Today we talking why Cathy was late in school.
Alarm was ringing but Cathy was sleeping....
Wake up, Cathy!!!
1. Do exercises! (Morning gymnastic - children do exercises and properly breath)
2. Wash your face and teeth! (We explore artificial soap bar, discuss colour and shape, rub hands and sing "ABC"- song)
3. We brush our hair
4. Set up breakfast.
This part has a target give children understanding good manners at table and correct food choice.
We continue to learn colours, shapes and what we need for breakfast st the table.

Finally we created plate for Cathy with taste and healthy breakfast

Yummy!

Our wickerwork - beading not for girls only.

My children become  obsessed with beading. You will be surprised to see all my 12 boys at the craft table! They are making butterfly and dragonfly for their sisters, mams, dads... and this " beading infection" spreads around whole program and our school looks like huge butterfly and dragonfly conservatory! Sometimes you might see bees and lizards and I feel like we should star something more difficult. For this week we created:

Bee for Jewish New Year

Butterflys

Beading is real boys activity!
