Toddler Time

We had two new friends today, "E" and "A"! We are so glad they joined us and hope they continue to come each week! "R" came back after missing a couple of weeks. "J" and "L" were also part of our group of 5. Our ages ranged from 20 months to age 3.  Some of our friends were joiners today and some were watchers.  I welcome both!  

Dinovember continued with a focus on shapes today. Although we read about  many shapes I only introduced three (circle, triangle and square) to focus on.  

We began with a shape walk. We had squares, triangles and circles on the floor that we walked on when the music was playing. When the music stopped, we stopped. I then asked, "Who is standing on the ___?" while holding up that shape. I think we all had fun moving and checking which shape we landed on.  We also practiced saying the name of the shape we were standing on.   

Our books today were, Shape by Shape by Susan McDonald
and, Dinosaur Shapes by Paul Stickland. We had fun matching the shapes we were holding or had played with on the magnetic whiteboard to the shapes we saw in each book.
