Young Learners: My Home is a Special Place

Books: Where Do I Live? By Cartwheel Books, I Love My Nest By P.D Eastman





Sensory: smelly soaps

Dramatic Play: Tool Time! Provide a set of play tools for the children to “build” a house with.
Hahahaha! Their expressions crack me up in this photo. It reminds me of the painting, American Gothic.










Fine Motor: Puzzle-matching animals to their homes

Art: H Collage
H is for hard hat, house, hospital, helicopter, hammer, hippo, horse, happy face, hair, and handprint

Math: House Tangrams: I gave each of the friendly frogs a set of tangrams and encouraged them to "create a house". They got pretty creative and added features that their own homes have, like a driveway, a "big hill" and a garden.

Question: Tell me about your house.



Sign Language: House

Practical Life: Hand washing-provide the children smelly soaps to sample while they practice washing their hands properly. Discuss the benefits of good hygiene.

Music & Movement: This is the House that Jack Built- with play tools to make building motions with.
Fine Motor: House Puzzles!
The children put together house puzzles with parts to a house, and enjoyed the set of "where do I live?" puzzles where the children match animals to their houses (birds to a nest, horses to a barn, frogs to a pond, etc).



Gross Motor/Outside Play: Beep Beep! Cozy Coupe cruisin!

Goodbye Friends
