Up and Down and Around
Visit a community garden (or the one in your very own back yard) and look at how the plants grow - up, down, and around!
The Pigeon HAS to Go to School
Make a pigeon puppet out of a paper lunch bag or sock and tell the story again and again.
Pete The Cat: Wheels on the Bus
Sing the song, along with the motions. For inspiration, check out a YouTube video like this one: https://youtu.be/-0icbqvmehs
Conscious Discipline Corner
Every month we will highlight an I Love You Ritual from Conscious Discipline! Here is September's:
Wonderful Woman
A wonderful woman lived in a shoe,
(Hold child’s hand and give a palm massage)
She had so many children
She knew exactly what to do.
(Massage each finger on one hand as you say each word)
She held them.
(Fold thumb in and then fold the fingers over it like a fist)
She rocked them.
(Cradle and rock the fist)
And tucked them in bed.
“I love you, I love you,” Is what she said.
(Hug)
