May: Week 2

Phoneme: /s/
Transition Song:  The Circle Song (The Kiboomers)
Pre-literacy Skills:  the Letter S.  Put your finger on the top - swooooop over - swirl down - swooooop under - and STOP!

Concepts: body parts, colors, high/low, fast/slow, stop(freeze)/go

Activity:  Silly Dance Contest (Jim Gill).  I wonder how you can move your arms?  Your legs?  Feet?  Hands?  Head?

  • dance, jump, fast/slow, hands high, shrink low

My favorite part of this Jim Gill video?  When he says the children don't leave his concerts remembering dancing the Silly Dance.  They remember dancing with their moms and/or dads.  So please do this at home!
