Stars

Week 4 of our Mother Goose Time’s “Sights & Sounds of Winter” theme was about light and dark.

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

We talked about what stars look like at night.

Circle Time activities!

Our first activity for the day was making a Starlight Wand!

Miss M decorated her star how she wanted and we put it together with the piece of cellophane and attached it to our craft stick to make it a wand.

Our next activity was called Singing Stars.

I took our rhyme time poster and covered the pictures with sticky notes. We would remove a sticky note and identify the animal or person under it. Then we’d read the rhyme and remove another sticky note. We continued to reread the rhyme and remove sticky notes until all the sticky notes were gone.

We also practiced counting to 8 using our number 8 counting card and some star counters we were provided with.

I put the card on the floor and tried to get Miss M to toss eight stars onto the counting card. When we were finished, we’d count how many landed on the counting card.

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