Tales for Twos (Age 2 with an adult)

This week was Babies on the Go!

We started off with our 5 Little Ducks/Ducks Like Rain Songs, then did our This is Big rhyme.

We read Can you Make a Scary Face? by Jan Thomas, Babies on the Go by Linda Ashman, We've All Got Bellybuttons! by David Martin, Toddlerobics by Zita Newcome.

We made slippery fish with the Octopus Song by Charlotte Diamond.

And we had a special time playing with all the new toys!

Our last Tales for Twos for the year is in two weeks. I will have ducks for you to take home to practice our song, sheets with the lyrics/cd titles of our songs and more so you can keep having fun at home during the holiday break!

Tales for Twos (TT) Age 2 with an adult

Last week, we read books about Kitties and Cupcakes!

We started off with our 5 Little Ducks/Ducks Like Rain, as usual followed by our rhyme- This is Big, Big, Big!
We read Little Mouse and the Big Cupcake by Thomas Taylor and If You Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Numeroff.  We swam under the water with the Octopus Song!



Rhymes:

FIVE LITTLE CUPCAKES

Down around the corner

At the bakery shop, (Hold up 5 fingers and wiggle.)

Five little cupcakes

With sprinkles on top.

Along came (child’s name)

With a penny one day.

She bought a cupcake and

She took it away. (Put down 1 finger.)

Four…three…two…one

We practiced our colors with:
When the cat that is red
Is finally fed,
He raises his head
And says- "Mee-ow"
When the cat that is blue
Has nothing to do,
He comes up, too,
And whispers- "Mee-ow"
When the cat that is yellow
Is feeling mellow,
He tends to stretch
And bellow-"Mee-ow!"
When the cat that is brown
Starts stalking the town,
You'll hear his sound
When he cries-"Mee-ow"
When the cat that is green
Is finally seen,
You'll know what I mean
When I say he can really "Mee-ow!"
When the cat that is black
Arches his back,
He has an uncanny knack
Of screeching-"Mee-ow!"
When the cat that is white
Comes into sight,
You very well might
Hear his famous-"Mee-ow!"
Okay, little cats,
Let's hear some "Mee-ows!"
And now it's time
For curtsies and bows.

Mice are Nice
Mon.-Wed. at 10:30 am

We will practice counting with 5 Little Ducks. Did you take your ducks home last time so you can sing and play at home, too?

We will read Mouse Mess by Linnea Riley and Eeney Meeny Mouse Big Book.

Besides our Letter Song and our activity song, Slippery Fish, we will also pretend to be mice with Carole Peterson's song, The Little Mouse Goes Creeping.

We will practice our colors with our flannel board, Little Mouse, Little Mouse.

Again, there will be a take-home craft and an extended activities handout. Hope to see you there!

New Session of Preschool Program Begins!
