Books:

Song:

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are!

Activities:

We're Going to the Moon!

Climb aboard the spaceship,
We're going to the moon!
Hurry and get ready,
We're going to blast off soon.
Put on your helmets
And buckle up real tight.
Here comes the countdown,
Let's count with all our might!
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1---BLAST OFF!!!


The Sun

Over there the sun gets up,
(extend arm horizontally)
And marches all the day.
(raise arm slowly)
At noon it stands right overhead,
(point straight up)
At night it goes away.
(lower arm slowly)


Wesley and I enjoyed venturing out in the fog this morning to visit the wonderful students and staff at Golden Hills Head Start!  I loved the sun and moon shapes hanging overhead as I read stories.  The students were awesome listeners and also did a great job of participating in the songs and activities!!  I had fun accompanying them as they sang their ABCs!!!
My next visit to Miss Amy's class is scheduled for Monday, February 25!
