We had a great time acting out "Little Miss Muffet" today after trying some cottage cheese to act as the "curds and whey." The kids took turns being the spider and Miss Muffet. We were able to practice a direction word "beside" as we learned where "beside" was in our nursery rhyme. We also practiced making frightened faces instead of happy faces, because that matched the words we were reading. Then we slowly said all the words of the first two lines of "Little Miss Muffet" and wrote down the sounds we heard. After that much sitting everyone took a stretch and walked to their table to illustrate the poem "Little Miss Muffet." We discussed if our pictures matched the poem. If the illustrations didn't match, the pictures were sent home. The illustrations that matched were posted on the poem. For instance, Little Miss Muffet did not share her curds and whey with a zombie, so that picture went home =).
After lunch we checked to see if pumpkins floated. I'll let your kids tell you the answer to that. Then we tested all sorts of objects in the room. The kids were surprised by what floated and sunk. They had to be scientists and record what they saw with their special scientist tools, colored pencils. They wrote about what floated, what sunk, and then a conclusion or question about what they noticed. Check out all the wonderful things your children did today.
