Musical Tots.

A day full of Music is a day full of fun! 

Six Little Ducky's                                                  

Six little ducks that I once knew,                              
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too,
but the one little duck
with the feathers on his back,
he led the others with a
Quack, quack, quack (x2)

 Along Came Mr. Alligator
Six little monkeys sitting in a tree
teasing Mr. Alligator "You cant catch me, You cant catch me"
Along came Mr. Alligator quiet  as can be
and he snatched that monkey right out of the tree.
(Continue count down from six until you don't have any monkeys left)

These are just two of the songs we have been working on throughout this week. The kids LOVE getting to chant the lyrics aloud while gesturing fun hand motions. It has also been fun for Mary and I to see how good the kids memorization skills have gotten over the past few months.

Aside from our impressive musical skills the kids have also been hard at work learning all sorts of great new things. This week we focused on learning letters I and N, along with number six. With each new day and each new lesson the concept of fallowing directions has been stressed. Together the kids have gone through many worksheets where they were expected to fallow the directions on how to color and decorate there work. For the most part everyone did a very good job with this. As a result we were lucky enough to end our week on a high note. We spent our last morning before the weekend sewing (yes sewing) together our very own pair of mittens that went along with our story "The Mitten".

Homework: Practice saying the days of the week ( this has been a bit of a struggle). Brainstorm things that begin with letters "I" and "N". Practice writing them as well, along with number six. The kids were also sent home with a lined piece a paper with there names on it. There job is to write their names as many times as possible along the lines. Note: make sure they are making each letter to fall on the correct line. They are expected to bring each sheet back to our next Preschool lesson which is Wednesday morning.
