Week of: November 9th, 2009
Theme: Morning and Night Routines
We will continue to learn night time routines along with introducing our
morning routines. Next week, to prepare for Thanksgiving, we will learn
about mealtime. This week we will reread Bears in the Night by Jan and Stan
Berenstein to practice the preposition concepts along with many other
supplemental books. Concepts that will be focused on include: day/ night,
sun/ moon/ stars, morning routine, review bedtime routine, parts of the bed,
inside areas of the house- kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
In circle, we will bring over our doll house and organize the inside of
the house and put the dolls to bed. We will also sing songs such as lullabys
including Rock a Bye Baby, Ten in the Bed and Good Morning by Greg and
Steve. In our centers, we will put our stuffed animals and dolls to bed
and venture outdoors to find signs of daytime versus nighttime- perhaps we
may see the moon on a clear day!
