Letter "R"

Theme: Letter "R"

Choosing Time: Little People Village, Floor Puzzles, Paint a Rainbow

Snack: Thank you Rae for a surprise snack! The Kudo bars and carrots were tasty!

Music & Movement: See Me Run!

Lesson/Game/Music/Movement/Art/Science: I taped numbered raindrops to an umbrella. Each child took a turn to choose a raindrop. We then did an activity that corresponded to the number. Here are some of the things we did:
  1. Sang "Rain is Falling"
  2. Traced letter "R" and guessed some words that begin with "R." Some children believed that my cute picture of a rabbit to be a bunny. They insisted that I turn the picture over to show them the word. Seeing the word "rabbit" was a disappointment. :)
  3. Danced like Robots.
  4. Read a book called What Makes A Rainbow by Betty Schwartz. We identified the 3 things we need to have a rainbow: water, sun, and colors.
  5. Sang "Peter Rabbit"
  6. Sang "Little House"
  7. Sang "I Can Sing a Rainbow"--I have issues with the original song...so we sang it with the 6 colors of a rainbow in order.
  8. Danced a Rainbow
  9. Made a Rainbow Picture
  10. Read The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Brown Wise
