3-12-01I looked out the window and what did I see?
12-27-00Here's a fingerplay I wrote. It's perfect for springtime or planting season. All words should be pantomimed by teacher and kids: "First you take the seed and you plant it in the ground." (Mime
taking a seed and planting it in your other hand, balled up in a fist.) After kids are familiar with this poem, I have THEM be the seeds that I plant and water and shine on. When I tap them on the heads the first time as I say the first line, they drop to the floor as if they have been planted. I tap them on the heads again as I recite the last line, and they grow into beautiful flowers. I make sure to smell each one, just like a flower, and tell them how wonderful they smell and beautiful they are. This activity works especially well with 2-4 year olds. area
8-21-00Spring is here (tune: Farmer in the Dell) The days of Spring are
here,
5-25-00I have a poem you can use during Spring week. I got it out of a book.
Date: 4-5-00Over In The Meadow..... Use Raffi's version of this counting song....and sing it yourself if possible. I made up a flannel to go with this song. It consists of a pond, blue stream, tree, rock, bee hive...sun, and small grassy area. Mommy duck and 1 baby, mommy fish and 2 babies, mommy bird and 3 babies, mommy frog and 4 babies, and mommy bee and 5 babies. Also a human mom holding a baby. Take your time singing it at their pace.
Date: 4-5-00Herman the Worm Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' my bubble gum. (Make chewing sounds) Playin' with my yo-yo. (Pretend you have a yo-yo) And along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big. (Hold your hands opened in front of you) I said, "Herman, what's the matter?" "I ate a car." Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' my bubble gum. Playin' with my yo-yo. And along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big. (Open hands a little wider) I said, "Herman, what's the matter?" "I ate a truck." Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' my bubble gum. Playin' with my yo-yo. And along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big. (Open hands a little wider) I said, "Herman, what's the matter?" "I ate a bus." Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' my bubble gum. Playin' with my yo-yo. And along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big. (Open hands as wide as you can) I said, "Herman, what's the matter?" "I ate a train." Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' my bubble gum. Playin' with my yo-yo. And along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big. (Hold two fingers in front of your eye, opened a little) I said, "Herman, what's the matter?" "I Burped!"
Date: 3-30-00I read a story about a chick being hatched from an egg. After the story was over we talked about what ways the chick used in order to get out. I then played a classical piece with slow and then some fast parts as well. The children pretended that they were a chick hatching from an egg, and needed to get out.
Date: 3-22-00Sung to the Tune: I'm a Little Teapot I plant a little seed in the cold, cold ground. Action: pretend to plant in cupped hand round arms over head for sun raindrops with dancing fingers have right hand push through left hand and emerge as a flower with fingers spread wide!
Date: 3-22-00Planting Flowers Song- Sung to the tune of "Frere Jacques"-- Planting
flowers, Planting flowers,
Date: 3-17-00April Rain rhythm verse (children tap lightly on floor with fingers, then begin rising)) Dance little raindrop. Tap with tiny feet. The seeds will awaken, When they hear our beat. Grow little seeds, And see the cloudy sky.
ideaI learned this song as a little girl many years ago and I never hear anyone sing it. I am not sure how to describe the right tune to use but here it is... Oh,...I looked out the window and what did I see, Popcorn popping on the apricot tree. Spring had brought me such a nice surprise, popcorn popping right before my eyes. I can take an armful and make a treat, a popcorn ball that would smell so sweet. It wasn't really so... but it seemed to be... Popcorn popping on the apricot tree. This can be sang as a song or told as a fingerplay. I always use hand motions to fit the song such as: Put your hands together over your head to look like a tree or make your hands into fists and let your fingers burst out as though they are popcorn kernels bursting into popcorn, etc. Date: 6-29-99I see robins, I see bird's nests, Butterflies too, flowers too. Everything is growing, The wind is gently blowing. Spring is here, spring is here. (To the tune "Are You Sleeping") Name: ideaTune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean Some rabbits have bright shiny noses. I'm telling you now as a friend. The reason their noses are shiny Their powder puffs on the wrong end. Wrong end, wrong end, their powder puffs on the wrong end. Date: 5-20-99
