Animal Song with Puppets:  "Pig on her Head"

 

Letter of the Day: Ee for elephant

 

Book: I Dream of An Elephant by Ami Rubinger. We dream up elephants of all different colors in this rhyming book. 

 

I changed the words on two pages though. Instead of the brown elephant being so big and lazy that he had to sit down, he was simply tired.  The pink elephant was a great dancer, not a clumsy one, in my version. 

The kids were awesome listeners both days!  To help hold their attention, I made flannel elephants to place up on the board as I read about them in the book.

Music / Movement:  After reading about colorful elephants, we all used scarves to become elephants ourselves to dance to "Elephant's Have Wrinkles".

Rhyme (SCLibrary):  Here Comes the Elephant

 

Here comes the elephant

He moves so slow

He swings his trunk to and fro

He is so big he can hardly jump

He sits down with a great big THUMP

 

 

Flannel:  We ended with the same flannel as last wee, "See You Later, Alligator"
