Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Happy Thursday! Today we read a story called Rub A Dub Dub. First we talked about whether we thought the story would be the same as our nursery rhyme or different. Then we read the story. It had a lot of rhyming words in it! In the story, the men caught a huge fish! The fish pulled them around until they got lost at sea. Then their tub sprang a leak and started to sink. Fortunately the water was not very deep and they were able to walk through the water to get home again!

Your child has some Rub-A-Dub-Dub nursery rhyme activities in his/her folder that you can do together at home!

We visited centers again today. The children visited the two centers that they did not visit today.  The centers include making a boat out of clay and counting how many bears it will take to sink the boat, making a name ship to use at closing circle, putting together sailboat concept puzzles, and completing a Rub-A-Dub-Dub nursery rhyme counting activity.

We also played in the classroom. The children in the morning discovered the transportation stencils at the writing center and were quite intrigued with using the new stencils!

We had a birthday celebration in the afternoon. Happy birthday, Olivia! Thanks for the special treats!

Of course we had to sing the silly color creature song! Then we acted out the song "Six Little Ships" using our stick puppets from centers. It was a lot of fun!

Then we sang "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" together. We each found a friend and held hands to rock back and forth while singing. Then we tried changing the song, using different words, such as quickly, slowly, and silly. There were a lot of giggles during this song!

I am so proud of both classes! They have both earned a Class BEAK award for being so quiet in the hallway! When we get 5 awards, we can have a classroom party! Please let your child know how proud you are of him/her for remembering quiet mouths, hands to self, and walking feet in the hallway!

Have a great weekend! :)
