Today during circle time we read another Pete the Cat story. This one was titled Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes. To make the story more interactive I created a flannel board of Pete the Cat. Each child was given a different colored shoe before we began reading the story. Pete began the story by wearing his white shoes, but they changed color throughout the story. When he stepped in strawberries they turned red. When he stepped in a large puddle of mud they turned brown, ETC. The children did a wonderful job of listening for when it was their turn to change the shoes. After each "accident" the author wrote, "Did Pete cry? Goodness, no!" The moral of the story is: No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song...because it's all good.
Today we also learned about our helper chart. In our classroom we have a calendar helper, line leader, and snack helper. Our calender helper helped us read the day of the week, recognize our shape(circle), and read our nursery rhyme for the month(Rub-A-Dub-Dub). The children also used our classroom school bus tent to act out the rhyme "One Lonely Bus Driver."
One lonely bus driver all alone and blue
He picked up a passenger and then there were two.
Two people riding, they stopped by a tree
They picked up a passenger, and then there were three.
Three people riding, they stopped by a store
They picked up a passenger, and then there were four.
Four people riding, happy and alive,
They picked up a passenger, and then there were five.
Five people riding open swung the door
Four passengers got off the bus,
The driver's alone once more.
