Fireplace

Week 3 of our Mother Goose Time’s “Sights & Sounds of Winter” theme was about sights and sounds found indoors.

Here’s some of the things we covered on Fireplace day.

We talked about where a safe place to build a fire would be.

Circle Time activities!

Our first activity for the day was sewing a stocking!

First we talked about why we might hang our stockings on the fireplace.

Then, I gave Miss M the materials for her little stocking and let her decorate it how she wanted to. I helped her write her name on it and had her try to thread the yarn through the holes. She needed a little help at first but then she got it.

We also got out our Mississippi Musicians storybook to read along with our storytelling pieces.

 

I gave Miss M a storytelling piece and then I retold a simplified version of the story. I’d give her a one-step direction for where to put the piece (for example: “Put the dog next to the house.”)

Here are a couple more activities we did from our Little Goose teacher guide.
