We had an amazing week learning about dogs, cats, birds, and fish. The children could not wait to make their own dog. They each made their own dog and then named there dog. My older children lead the discussion about what dogs need everyday. My older ones agree that they need food and water and exercise daily. Miss L talked to us about walking her dog.
None of the children had cats but remembered that another friend said they can be scary so they decided they did not like cats. I tried to change their minds by telling them all the fun things you can do with cats.
For our bird day we worked on blowing bird feathers and counting and sorting them by size, and colors. The children made birds using supplies that were set out. I love how mother goose has fun activities to provide the children development in many areas. We worked on math by counting and sorting, language by talking about what kinds of birds they see outside. They worked on social skills by asking another child to pass supplies to them.
We might need a new Dr. Seuss book after the children finish reading it. By the end of the day some children were starting to quote the book "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish."
I love that all these opportunities are possible because we starting using Mother Goose Time.
