This week's theme is the new MyPlate food icon. This replaces the Food Pyramid. MyPlate really makes meal planning easier. Just by looking at the icon, you know right away that vegetables and fruits should take up half the plate (with the veggie portion being a bit bigger), and grains and protein foods should take up the other half (with more grains on this side). And with a side helping of dairy, you're reminded that kids also need a serving of milk or another dairy food (like cheese or yogurt) at each meal.
In this session of PP, I will be using Cookie Monster to eat cookies from my LLFs with numbers, letters and common sight words. Cookie Monster loves to eat cookies!
We will "Shake a Friend's Hand" with our grown-ups to begin our program. This is on Carole Peterson's Stinky Cake CD.
We will work on the concept of "10" with the rhyme 10 Fluffy Chickens:
Ten Fluffy Chicks
5 eggs and 5 eggs
That makes 10
Sitting on top is the Mother hen
Crackle, crackle, crackle
What do I see?
10 fluffy chicks as yellow as can be.
Got these chick/eggs from the $1 Store.
We will dance and use our egg shakers with Laurie Berkner's Fruit Salad Salsa and Bob McGrath's Aiken Drum.
