- introduced ourselves singing "bumpity bumpity yellow bus, can you please say your name for us?" while slapping our knees and clapping our hands
- learned how to "freeze" to the bell so we could listen to the next set of directions
- played copycat
- read a story about Christopher Columbus
- recited the three ships' names (Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria) to a snapping beat
- talked about how the world is round
- played a rolling game with the world globe ball
- found (on the globe) where we live on Earth and where Columbus sailed
- made spyglasses and sailor hats
- "built" a ship (used markers to draw the windows and designs on it) out of enormous cardboard boxes
- talked about the "S" (the sound it makes, how to draw the letter, and we named things that start with that letter)
- mentioned shapes and drew squares in the air with our fingers
- played hot and cold game to "discover" (like Columbus) where the Halloween spider was hiding
- used scissors and made a word wheel for the "ip" family (shape of a ship)
- played with puzzles, learned a Halloween monologue, and a pumpkin song
- practiced reading our "ip" word wheels. Some told their moms when they came to pick them up, "Mom! I can read!"
We had a super time! So long!
