Picnic Play

We are having so much fun with our pretend play

I chose a Picnic Theme this week

here a song for this week theme:

Picnic Song

(sung to the tune of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow”)

We’re going on a picnic!

We’re going on a picnic!

We’re going on a picnic!

And I’ll bring something [red].



I will pack some [apples].

I will pack some [apples].

I will pack some [apples]

Because [apples] are [red].

Sing additional verses, replacing the color word and food each time.
Here are some ideas of what to include:
blue, berries;
yellow, bananas;
brown, cookies;
green, celery;
orange, carrots.

I love this song because it increases their vocabulary
not only with food names, but with the colors too :)

Enjoy :)

Learning new words with books

Today we sat down in circle time and read

"happy baby words"

is amazing to see how eager

to learn are 2 year olds

This book gives you the chance to do

a story stretcher,

where you read the word/s

point at the picture

and point at the real thing,

like parts of the face

or clothes that we wear,

At the same time in a playful manner
let the children

repeat what you are saying

that way they learn the new word,

and don't forget always celebrate

their new achievement :)

thanks for reading,

Teaching Twos

O.k. as everybody knows, no secret... I suck at writing.
But I am still here wanting to share everything I do with my little ones :)
Starting this week I am not teaching fours and fives,
but instead I have taken a job with two year olds,
which is going to be different as a lot of you know.

I'll still be sharing projects that I do with my daughter
now going to first grade, as well as the ones that she brings from school
(when school starts again)

Meanwhile I'll be sharing everything I do with my little two year olds
as I am getting organized and getting ready for my new adventure.
Right now I am reading a lot about this age group, so if you have
a blog concerning this age group I would love to see it.

I'll be sharing as I put together some prop boxes,
songs, rhyming cards, and everything in between.

 Thanks for reading

News Coming :)

As soon as I can...I have to tell you about the new changes coming in my blog :)
