You are Special

Day 3's topic with Mother Goose Time is you are special.  We talked about how we are similar and different from other people.  We also worked on the number one, since there is only one of each of us.

We talked about different way you can tell how someone is feeling.  The girls practiced making faces in the mirror and then we took out the theme poster and they tried to copy the different emotions.  Elli thought this was extremely funny, and wound up laughing during most of the faces.
One of the manipulatives this month is a set of plastic tanograms.  The girls used them to make different designs while we talked about what body parts they only have one of.  Every time they were able to come up with one they would add a tanogram to the counting card.  
The girls had fun making their I am special trees.  I traced Elli's hand/arm and cut it out for her.  Addie did everything on her own.  They used the hands to make a tree trunk and then used bingo markers to add leaves and glued on heart confetti.  They were supposed to use fingerprints to make the leaves so they would all be different, but Addie wanted to make a fall tree with lots of different colored leaves and this way was easier.  
The girls each got to pick something that was special to them and then put it in a bag so no one could see it.  Addie described what she had while I guessed.  I helped Elli with hers while Addie tried to figure out what Elli had.
