Wednesday we
learned about the story of The Bundle of Sticks.
Our first
activity for the day was reading the story of The Bundle of Sticks. Just like
on Monday, I read it aloud and encouraged Miss M to help act out the fable when
we were prompted to.
The moral of
this story is in unity is strength.
Our next
activity was Counting Sticks. Mother Goose Time provided us with both a bunch
of little colored sticks and some number cards that have the numeral on one
side and a colored dot on the other. We took turns touching one stick at a time
and counting them. Then we’d pull out a card and try to count that many sticks
and put it on the card.
After a
little bit, Miss M wasn’t interested in counting and wanted to just play with
the sticks. As she was playing, she kept counting to ten all by herself. She’s
been doing this lately and I’m so proud! Even though I don’t think she is
really counting but just saying the words (if that makes sense), I’m still
excited that she’s doing it :)
Our last
activity for the day was making a Community Unity Chain. We sat down and talked
about all the people who make us happy. We were provided with a bunch of paper
strips. I set them out and we played with them for a little while making them
into letters and shapes. Then we wrote Miss M’s name on one strip and all the
names of our family members. Little missy was still wanting to play with the
little sticks so she played with them while I put together our chain.
Here’s our
finished chain.
After I put
together the chain, she got excited and wanted to play with it.
Our book
that we read today was called “The Little Red Hen”.
