Miss Carrie has a very special quilt. There are so many things to see on the quilt. We found butterflies and bees and lots of bugs. They were all in bottles. It was fun to look at her quilt.
Miss Carrie taught us a game to play with her quilt. It was called "Who's Behind The Blanket". One of our friends would stand behind the blanket. Then we sang:
Who's behind the blanket.
Who's behind the blanket.
Who's behind the blanket.
1-2-3-4-5!
On 5, Miss Carrie dropped the blanket and we saw who was behind there. We learned their name and practiced saying "Hi, _________!"
Then Miss Carrie did a magic trick. She had Miss Jeana or Miss Jen kneel behind the blanket. When she dropped the blanket, THEY WERE GONE! It was funny when Miss Jeana or Miss Jen popped up behind one of the shelves and we saw that they weren't gone....they had crawled away to hide!
Do this at home: Use any blanket or other item and talk about who is behind it. Be sure to pop out from behind so family members can say "Hi!"
