Week of January 25th - Language Group - Miss Randi and Miss Elizabeth

This week in Language Group we read the book

"If You Give a Moose a Muffin"  by Laura Numeroff.

 

For our activity, I made muffins with picture associations on them.  I placed the muffin bottoms on the floor in a row, then each child was given a muffin top and asked, "What does it go with?"

 

 

 

Some of the associations included:

shoes/socks, candles/birthday cake, paints/paintbrush, dog/bone

baseball/bat, train tracks/train

 

After completing a few, we would count how many muffins we made for the moose to eat!

Week of January 18th - Language Group - Miss Randi and Miss Elizabeth

This week in Language Group, we played a game based on Laura Numeroff's book

"If You Give a Dog a Donut."

 

 

I made a game board based on the various vocabulary in the book.

 

 

We chose which dog we wanted to use to be our game piece.  The children had to describe the dog they wanted.  For example, the most common choice was, "The one with black ears."  We also talked about the size of their ears.

 

Each child had a turn moving the dog from space to space and then had to answer a question.  Some questions included:

Do you like to dance?

Do you like orange juice or apple juice?

What is a baseball for?

 

Once they answered a question, they chose a donut (block) and stacked it.  We counted the donuts and hoped they wouldn't fall!
