The girls had so much fun with day 3's Mother Goose Time topic, trunks.
They started off by using paper strips to make a rectangle trunk, and then we looked at the shape of the month.
We sang Shake Your Trunk while the girls acted out the song. Every month Mother Goose Time provides a song or finger play activity for every day that come on cards you can clip together.
The girls used the pattern blocks that were provided this month to make their own designs and then used the shape mats to make specific pictures.
I read the girls the Honest George story. We talked about what it meas to be honest and the girls each got an honesty bee badge. We added the big bee to our circle time display.
The girls looked at a photo of a tree trunk and then used paper to make their own model. After they were done they drew their own tree trunk cross sections.
We talked about what animals live in tree trunks. The girls watched a cute video of an ermine hiding in a tree. You can see it here. After, they made their own tree trunks and stick animals to play with.
Elli wound up going down for a nap while Addie worked on her more math and reading books.
