Hi everyone on Tuesday we started Sights and Sounds of Winter with Mother Goose Time, and the girls learned about drums.
First the girls did  “Name Beats.” Clapping the syllables in their names.
Then the girls did “Drum Design.”
 
Later on they played “Rhythm Patterns.” The girls created patterns with the provided MGT cards.
 
Then I took out two different drums so the girls can play “Drum Communication.” They really had fun playing the drums.
 
Hi everyone, Friday with Mother Goose Time the girls learned about “Ferry’s.” First the girls looked at a really cool Ferry video on a YouTube channel called Things That Go TV.
Then they did a activity called “Ferry Schedule.” They would pick a time and give each other tickets to catch the ferry. The girls used blankets as Ferries. They also explored time with their own clock.
 
 
The next activity was “Load up the Ferry.” The girls used a boat to transport the concept builder cards to their ferry’s.
 
Then used the concept cards to find something that matches the theme poster.

What MGT project did you do with your child this week that connected big muscle movement with language or math skills? What do you see as the benefits of combining physical activities with basic learning skills.
The girls used their large muscle movement with their math skills. During the ferry activities they worked with time and handing out tickets that matched the time on the ticket. I think it’s a great benefit for children to have combined physical activities with learning skills. All children learn differently and I believe hands on learning builds confidence and helps with skills.
Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  On Tuesday with Mother Goose Time the girls learned about the different types of buses.

This post is short, I forgot to grab an avocado so the girls could do the texture match and avocado dip.
Hi everyone, on Tuesday with Mother Goose Time we talked about Banana. We talked about how bananas grow on trees, look and smell.  Then the girls did a fun art project called “Build A Banana.”
 
After that the girls did “Banana Names.” They wrote their names on the banana and cut a piece into syllables. Then count and reassemble their names.
  
 
 
Later on the girls had fun with “Banana Math Stories.”
  
Next week we will start “On the Go.”
