Miss Carrie brought a very special blanket into the classroom. A student gave her the blanket a few years ago. We looked at all the pictures on the blanket and found everything that had a /b/ sound: balls, robots, butterfly, bee, bear, and ladybugs.
Then Miss Carrie taught us a new game called "Who's Behind The Blanket. She held the blanket up so she was behind it and we couldn't see her. We sang:
Who's behind the blanket?
Who's behind the blanket?
Who's behind the blanket?
1-2-3-4-5!
At the count of 5, Miss Carrie dropped the blanket and we could see her. Who was behind the blanket? Miss Carrie! Everyone could choose whether or not to hide behind the blanket. They could answer yes or no.
When we saw who was behind the blanket, we called out their name. "Hi, Miss Carrie!"
DO THIS AT HOME: Play hide and seek and narrate what you are hiding behind. When cleaning up, practice looking behind you. Ask Who questions while looking at a family album or familiar book.
Other things that happened in class this week: Small Groups, Work Time, and an impromptu dance party!
