Theme of the Month
Spring
Book of the Week
In The Small, Small Pond
By Denise Fleming
Color of the Week
Blue
Look for blue skies, blue birds and blue water.
It’s a great time of year to go on a nature walk
And hunt for blue! Not as easy to find as green,
So this may be a challenge!
Point out everytime you see BLUE in the book, too!
Song/Nursery Rhyme of the Week
5 Little Speckled Frogs
Five little speckled frogs sitting upon a log
Eating a most delicious bug, yum, yum!
One jumped into the pool where it was nice and cool
Then there were four green speckled frogs
Four little speckled frogs…
Three little speckled frogs…
Two little speckled frogs…
One little speckled frog sitting upon a log
Eating a most delicious bug, yum, yum!
He jumped into the pool where it was nice and cool
Then there were no green speckled frogs
Other pond creatures to sing about:
tadpole, frog, duck, turtle, heron, whirligigs, swallows,
lobster, raccoon, muskrat, minnow, lizard
and you can add your own!
Letter of the Week
I for in
“Every letter makes a sound, I says Ih!”
This week we are focused on what lives IN the pond!
Snack of the Week
Frogs on A Log
You can get more creative if you would like
But this is a favorite for kiddos!
Cut celery into 4 inch pieces
Add cream cheese or peanutbutter inside the “log”
Place green candy or raisin’s on top for the “frogs”
Enjoy!
Art Project of the Week
I LOVE puppets for creating speech and language naturally!
Everyone wants to make a puppet talk!
The instructions will be easy to access here:
I have made this before with preschoolers and it is so much fun!
(Can you tell I LOVE DLTK’s website, click around and see other projects they offer for free!)
Field Trip of the Week
Find a lake or pond near your house and take a visit!
With warmer temperatures, this could be a fun place
To go an experience the wildlife there.
Are there frogs? Ducks? Bugs?
If allowed, you can feed the ducks, too!
Make sure whatever you feed them is safe for them to eat
App of the Week
FREE: Happi Words – A game for practicing word association, spelling and vocabulary
Get it while it is still free!
