Things That Start with Q, March 28th and 29th, 2012


Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out

Book: (QUILL) Hugs from Pearl by Paul Schmid

Fingerplays: (QUICKLY) Slowly, Slowly and If you Chance to Meet a Frown

Slowly, slowly, very slowly, goes the little snail.
Slowly, slowly, very slowly, on the garden trail.

BUT (clap) quickly, quickly, very quickly, goes the little mouse.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly, all around the house.
(Sit your child on your lap. Tickle him/her slowly during the snail part and quickly during the mouse part)

--

If you chance to meet a frown,
(pull corners of mouth down to a frown)
Do not let it stay. (shake head from side to side)
Quickly turn it upside down
And smile that frown away. (push corners of mouth into a smile)

Book: (QUEST, QUENN): The Kiss that Missed by David Melling

Fingerplay: (QUACK) Five Little Ducks

Book: (QUESTION MARK): Guess Again by Mac Barnett

Activity: (QUIZ, QUESTION) Questions included “Do you have a pet?”, “Do you have a brother or sister?”, “Are you wearing red?”… We asked the children to stand if the answer to the question was “yes”.

Book: (QUIET): Quiet, Loud by Leslie Patricelli
Quiet, Loud by Leslie Patricelli

Final Activity: (QUILT): Story Quilt. We made a 4x4 quilt which included 8 patterned pieces and pictures of 8 Q words. We had the children choose pictures to fill in the quilt. We wrote a Mad Lib (included) and we inserted the words into the story.
