Gathering song: Five Little Ghosts by the Kiboomers
It's our first week singing a new song for gathering. Five Little Ghosts is a fun song. We learn how to show numerals on our fingers, count backwards, predict what comes next, and pretend to be ghosts.
Preliteracy: Trace a capital G. "Draw half a circle, not a frown. Go across the middle and then down." Go. Girl. Ghost. Good. Gorilla. Good night. Game. Feel your throat with your fingers as you make the g-g-g sound. Your throat vibrates and tickles your fingers.
Concepts: Stop/Go, Fast/Slow, High/Low, What questions, rhyming, rhythm
This week we are talking about GO!.....and Stop. Miss Jeana tells us to GO to Planning Time, to Review Time, to Large Group, to Small Group, and to line up for Outside Time. Sometimes our teachers tell us to STOP at a particular spot, or STOP if we are not being safe. Sometimes, STOP means to freeze.
We are dancing to Jim Gill's Silly Dance Contest where we get to GO and dance fast or slow, jump high or low. Sometimes we freeze which means STOP. This is a very fun activity to do at home with moms and dads, brothers and sisters, or grandmas and grandpas. Don't forget to say GO and STOP (which in this case means freeze).
