The Earth, March 11th and 12th, 2009


Begin by singing Raffi's Shake My Sillies Out.

Book: Here in Space by David Milgrim

Poem: Sleeping Outdoors from The Bill Martin Jr. Big Book of Poetry edited by Bill Martin Jr.

Under the dark is a star
Under the star is a tree
Under the tree is a blanket
And under the blanket is me


For this one we made a flannel board with: a star, a tree, a blanket and a little bear to go underneath.

Book: On Meadowview Street by Henry Cole

Activity: Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen. We told this story without the book and encouraged the kids to participate with the actions.

Book: I Love Our Earth by Bill Martin Jr.

Song: Over in the Meadow, we used little animal puppets to help us sing the song.

Book: Mud by Mary Lyn Ray

Song: He’s Got the Whole World we used the version found on Raffi’s Box of Sunshine and while we listened to the song, we tossed globe beach balls onto a parachute and let the kids bounce them around.
