This last week in January and for the month of February we will be talking about friendship, family and people in our neighborhood. We will learn some silly songs, rhymes and poems about love. At the art table the children will be using glue and paper to make cards for family and friends.
As they create their cards they will be:
*developing fine motor skills.
*learning about shapes and colors.
*talking about letters and names.
We will be talking about neighborhoods and who lives in their neighborhood.
As you walk around your neighborhood you can ask them: What do you see when we go for a walk around our neighborhood? What places do you like to visit? Who do you see working in the neighborhood?
It is a way to have your child connect to the community they live in – their family, their neighbors and the people who work in their neighborhood.
Songs:
Skidamarink
Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.
Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.
I love you in the morning. And in the afternoon. I love you in the evening. And underneath the moon.
Oh, Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a doo,
I love you!
Love Somebody, Yes I Do
Love somebody, yes I do
Love somebody, yes I do
Love somebody, yes I do
Love somebody, and I’ll tell you who.
(Love my Daddy,…my Mommy,… My Grandma,…)
