Ugg, ugg,
Tickle bug
Because she's been enjoying Tuesday Teatimes so much and memorized "Little Boy Blue" lickity-split, I decided to start using "A Poetry Unit for Preschoolers." Find at http://PreschoolPowolPackets.blogspot.com
For our first lesson, we read Shel Silverstein's poem "Magic" and then talked about how poems often make us feel or think something new. Then it was on to our own magic (courtesy of a little heavy cream and food dye.) She could have done this all day.
I asked what she would do if she could make magic. The day after she saw "Cinderella", my DD was focused on housework: cleaning up the house, doing the laundry and making dinner. But she didn't want to do those things. She wanted her dolly to! Plus, she wanted to paint photos for me (ah!) sell honey and do her homework.
When I asked her to describe her magic in four words, she had a bit of trouble. This is her first introduction to descriptive words (to adjectives), and so she needs a lot of examples to pull from.
Then, we put thing together.
My Magic:
Beautiful
Fancy
Silly
Dresses for all
