Discussion: Letter of the week: F. Kids brought things from home that begin with the letter F. Van-fire truck, Avery-frog, Eden-flashlight, Jett-flamingo, Teagan-frog, Rylan-fork, Lyncoln-fish, Lily-fish, Ben-feather, Sam-frog slippers. Found the letter F in name tags.
We read the book "From Tadpole to Frog" (by Shannon Zemlicka) and discussed the life cycle of the frog.
Book:
Jump Frog Jump - Kalan
Song: Five Little Speckled Frogs
(This is my favorite version)
Five little speckled frogs,
Sat on a hollow log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool.
Now there are four green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!
Book:
Frog Jog - Ziefert
With this book we discussed word families and how they could practice reading this book themselves.
Book:
The Icky Sticky Frog - Bentley
Activity: Origami frog races and Frog lifecycle coloring pages (from Little Miss Hypothesis).
I mad several origami frogs ahead of time (I knew there was no way the kiddos would be able to make them since some of them don't come with a parent) and we flicked them around the room. I knew some of the kids would rather color, so I had a coloring page ready as well.
What I Learned: Great group! We sang Five Little Speckled Frogs 13 times because, of course, every kid wanted to participate. I thought the Frog Jog book would be good, but the kids didn’t seem that interested. The origami frog race went pretty well, but it isn’t too easy to skip the frogs on the carpet. We had to show the kids how to form a line to race their frogs because they were trying to race in a circle lol;)
