Transition Song: The Rainbow Song (Signing Time)
Concepts: Opposites, Who questions, voice volume
Materials: Laminated C
Book: Quiet Loud (Leslie Patricelli)
Start with pointing out who is wearing what color, review ASL for colors, then transition song.
Review letter recognition and tracing as per prior instructions.
Let's talk about opposites. Three year old won't understand the definition, but they will understand a myriad of examples. We're going to revisit the opposites book Quiet Loud. Then we're going to compare humming to blowing whistles, talking soft to talking loud, and we are going to review our voice level chart.
We use a modified version of this voice level chart in both preschool classes. Our teachers have eliminated the Strong Speaker and retained the #3 for Outside voices. We refer to the #2 Table Talk as our Small Group/Large Group voice since we use that term for sections of our daily routine.
Since children learn best with multi-modal presentation, we'll fit in some fast/slow marching and high/low jumping.
