We started a new theme with Mother Goose Time, desert discovery. Week one was spent learning about things at the rodeo, like boots, hats, lassos, etc.
Every monthly box comes with a new themed cd. We use this as background music, or to get up and dance to.
The kids used look and find glasses to find items on the monthly theme poster. This shows them the kind of topics we will be covering for the month.
We played horse shoes. The kids picked either a big N or little n and threw their horse shoe to the same lettered star.
The kids made different shaped lassos out of twine.
Then they made their own lassos out of paper plates and practiced catching toys. They had lots of fun using their lassos.
The kids used pokey balls to paint cowboy boots.
They took turns throwing counting cubes (this months manipulative) into a boot. Then they guessed how many cubes were in it and we counted to see who was closest.
The kids matched cowboy hats to the person with the same colored boots.
Then they used twine to paint their own cowboy hats that we made into headbands.
This months shape is the star. We sang a song while moving in a circle and whosoever names were called had to race to grab the star shapes.
Every monthly box comes with new name tags that the kids practice either writing or tracing their names on.
And we always get letter work by coloring letter books focusing on the letters of the month. Next week we start learning about the desert.
