Theme: Letter "M"Choosing Time: Magnets, Marble Works, Monkeys
Snack: Thank you Mitch for bringing yummy popcorn & marshmallows today! We all thought it was perfect that Mitch brought the snack on Letter "M" day :)
Music & Movement: We each chose a monkey to be our partner for our movement today. We followed the actions in the songs called, "I'm a Miracle" & "Count of 5". We also learned the songs, "Muffin Man" & "If all the Snowflakes..."
Lesson: Letter "M" is so much fun! It makes a great sound and it is fun to make. Letter "M" looks like two mountain peaks put together. Lower case "m" looks like a baby "M". There are so many words that begin with "M"! Some of the ones we came up with are: macaroni, marbles, magnets, monkey, me, Mitch, marshmallow, moose, mouse, monster, milk, money, mitten,....
Book: The Missing Mitten Mystery by Steven Kellogg
Art: We stamped & painted paper mittens. We are allowing them to dry and will have fun lacing them up next week.
Science: I placed several metallic items in a box. I pulled out one item at a time and asked the children if they thought it would stick to our magnet. Then we would test it. We discovered that not all things that are made from metal are magnetic. This discussion let to an impromptu metal band with both magnetic and non-magnetic items. We made Marvelous Music with some great rhythms.
