Wide Mouthed Frog

Today the children enjoyed two  read alouds The Icky Sticky Frog and The Wide-Mouthed Frog.  All animals have their favorite foods, and the wide-mouthed frog couldn't be more curious about what they are. This talkative frog with a huge mouth just can't stop asking the creatures he encounters what they like to eat -that is, until he stumbles upon a creature who just loves to eat wide-mouthed frogs!  With the use of some quick wit he is able to make an escape from his predator.

At one center today the children were given a frog mask with a party blower attached as an Icky Sticky Tongue.  The children were also given a set of flies that were programed with the concepts they are working on mastering for their progress report.  The children spread out their flies and used their icky sticky tongue to catch them.

Today we also sang the song "Five Green and Speckled Frogs."  At the second center the children visited they made 5 frogs on a speckled log.  We worked on writing numbers, putting numbers in order, as well as strengthening fine motor skills by making speckles.
