Week 16 Monday
Morning Circle 8:30-8:45
Unite: We will begin week 2 of unit 5:Favorite tales and rhymes. This week will be hearing tales or stories about mice, tales are stories that their parents may have heard when they were young. Both of our stories this week are make-believe; make-believe is when things are imagined or pretended to be true or real.
Calm
Invite children to practice STAR breath or take several deep breaths.
Have children take tiny mouse breaths and then take mighty lion breaths.
Point out that lions pant like hens,cats and dogs to stay cool. This panting is also a way to get oxygen flowing in the body.
Connect
" Three nice mice, three nice mice" ( hold up three fingers)
"See how they care, see how they care" ( make circles with fingers and hold them to eyes)
"They hold both hands and give a shake" ( shake hands)
"Smiling together, good friends they make" ( continue holding hands, swing arms and smile)
"Then turn around for goodness sake" ( drop hands turn around give high five)
"Three nice mice. Three nice mice" (hold up three fingers )
Commitment
Remind children about the ways we keep our classroom safe ( walking feet, listening ears, gentle hands, big voice, sharing and helping hands ). Remind them that it is the teachers/parents job to keep them safe and their job to help keep everyone safe. Give examples of each safety practice and ask child to commit to practicing one of the safety commitments all day. Let them show examples of the commitments.
Morning Message
Write the sentence saying each word as you write. Place your hand under each word in the sentence as you say it and have the children read it with you. Point out that words move from left to right on the page.
Say the sentence. Ask students to say the sentence with you. Encourage them to say it again, this time clapping their hands for each syllable. Check that children are clapping syllables and not words. Display the letter cards in this order Cc,Ee,Gg,Aa,Pp. Discuss similarities and differences in the uppcase and lowercase letters shapes(curves, lines angles).
Acknowledge the children whose names begin with the target letters. Ask these children to identify the letters in their names that they recognize.
