In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb! Letter "H"

Today we Change our preschool tree from Hearts to Shamrocks. We talked about the new month. We talked about March and how spring is almost here! The Color green is a popular color during the month of March because of St. Patricks Day. Then we learned that during the month of March there can be funny weather. One day it can be nice and warm and then the next day it can rain, be windy and maybe even snow. I explained the temperments of a lamb and lion is a lot like the weather. We read the book, "Sheep in a Jeep", by Nancy Shaw and Looked at some pictures of lions. Then we played a fun game pretending to be lions and lambs. Don't be surprised if your child starts recognizing each day a "lamb" or "lion" day. For a fun craft we traced our hands, one on black paper and one on yellow. After I cut them out, we glued cotton balls onto the black hand to make sheep. Then we glued orange onto the yellow hand to make a lion. A fun march keepsake.
For letter "H" we read the story, "Old Hat, New Hat", (one of my very favorites as a child) by Stan Berenstain. Then we made our very own "just right" Hats, with "H" pictures glued to it. The girls wanted a princess Hat, so I stapelled pink streamers to the top of them. All the children enjoyed our snack of HOTDOGS!!!
singing time we had fun taking turns with actions to the fun moving song, "If you're Happy and You Know It!"
