For circle time we talked about the letter "R" and words that rhyme. We played a game standing if two words I said rhymed and sitting if they did not. We tried to think of a rhyming word for everyone's name and then we went through the six nursery rhymes I sent home and listening for the rhyming words in each nursery rhyme. We then proceeded to make a nursery rhyme bag to as a reminder of the verses that we practiced. The kids all did a good job working independently on each of the activities - gluing for the teddy bear, drawing a face on the Humpty Dumpty egg, stamping a fish, wrapping a foil rain drop, and pulling the cotton ball apart for their lamb. They were most fascinated with the stars and we went multiple times into our storage room to see them glow. Their should be enough adhesive to pull the stars apart and put them in your child's bedroom if you want to.
On Thursday we will be talking about the letter "G" and goals. I have a story about President Heber J. Grant and how he set goals when he was younger that we will talk about. I am going to have the kids set a group goal to learn "Families Can Be Together Forever" (CS 188) and then give the kids a sheet to set an individual goal at home and work on that with you independently. I will pass along the visual for the Families Can Be Together Song so we can work on that throughout the month.
