Hickory Dickory Dock

Shared Reading:

We discovered the parts of a clock and drew our own clock.

We wrote our numbers all the way to 12 and learned about the hour hand.

 We finally finished our illustrations in our nursery rhyme book!
Now it's time to sit down and read them!!

 This was a fun activity to act out the nursery rhyme. We drew in the numbers of the clock and added an hour hand. When the clock strikes one, we make our mouse run down with the pull string from the back! 

Colors:

"Little Mouse, Little Mouse

Which color is your house?"

--Finding the mouse-- 

Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey Diddle Diddle

The Cat and the Fiddle

The cow jumped over the moon

The little dog laughed to see such sport

and the dish ran away with the spoon!

Hickory Dickory Dock

We had fun making our own little puppet show/stages today for Hickory Dickory Dock....

We used these to retell the story...

We also learned about what's on a clock and wrote the numbers on the clock. We learned that clocks have hands that tell us what time it is!

Afterward, we illustrated our last nursery rhyme in our books and read them to each other!

 We also played a fun game:

Little Mouse, little mouse

Which color is your house?

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!!

Today we had fun comparing a cooked egg vs a raw egg. We looked at the different parts of the egg: the shell, the white, and the yolk. 

 We tried to make our own walls and see if we could get an oval egg to balance on them! What fun!

  We tried making walls out of different kinds of blocks to see if one was better than the other. 

 For snack time, we all ate hard boiled eggs and observed the different parts of eggs.

 We then played a fun dice game I found on Sugardoodle : 

"I can put Humpty together again!"

We then worked on counting. We put eggs (ok, they were bean counters.... but we called them eggs) in trays according the labeled number. 

We then acted out Humpty Dumpty and

the kids tried to put Humpty together again!
