Bird Week & Mother’s Day
It was a busy week as we enjoyed all things birds and made a special Mother’s Day gift. I have been told that some mom’s opened their gift right away and some are waiting for Mother’s Day. No matter when the bag is opened, the children should sing the Mother’s Day song to you. The words went home in the gift bags in case your child needs a little assistance.
Has your child been singing bird songs at home this week? They enjoyed listening and learning them. We used this book and learned phrases to help remember the songs.
Some of the activity choices this week were:
These birds visited us during Circle Time every day. Your children worked hard to remember their names.
On Wednesday we baked ‘bird’s nest cookies’ and the Friday children made ‘real’ bird’s nests. Can you tell which is which?
Our bulletin board is filled with birds.
During Music class we heard the sound of the glockenspiel while listening to the song of the Aquarium from the Carnival of the Animals. All of the children were able to use a plastic mallet to make the sound on Mrs. Wada’s glockenspiels. I learned that the glockenspiel has metal bars, while the xylophone has wood bars.
