Transition Song: Gobble Gobble (The Thanksgiving Song) by Nooshi
We're learning this song without the music first so we can take it slower than the recording. Also, we are only learning the first two verses. This is a song that will get stuck in your head!
Materials: pictures of foods and classroom items, laminated letter T, pictures of turkey, pilgrim, and traditional Thanksgiving foods.
Vocabulary and Basic Concepts: familiar and unfamiliar food items (pizza, apples, carrots,
tomatoes, doughnuts, spaghetti, play dough, blocks, crayons, paint, not,
like/don’t like, food/not food.
Pre-literacy: Let's draw the letter T. "Draw top to bottom. Now back to the top. Draw left to right and then we stop." Let's make the sound /t,t,t,t,t,t,t/. Who has a /t/ sound in their name? What else has the /t/ sound? Top, bottom, left, right, time, table.
This month we are talking about about food and Thanksgiving. Miss Carrie brought out a lot of pictures of foods and items around the classroom (paint, playdough, crayons, blocks) and things from outside (rocks). We talked with our teachers and friends and Miss Carrie about the pictures. Was the picture was food or not food? Do you like it? Miss Carrie likes tomatoes, broccoli, peaches, spaghetti, and fries. Miss Carrie does not like peas. What happens if we put Miss Jen's or Miss Jeana's blocks or crayons or playdough in our mouths? We would have to wash the blocks. We would have to throw away the playdough.
DO THIS AT HOME: Talk about the foods you are eating at mealtimes together. Do you like it? What foods do you not like?
