Five Green and Speckled Frogs

 

Five Green and Speckled Frogs

Sat on a speckled log

Eating some most delicious bugs (yum, yum) 

One jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool 

Now there's just four green speckled frogs (glub glub)

Spring Flowers and Circle Time

 

Matching and Sequencing Flowers

Preschool children can learn basic math concepts with these visual felt flowers. In this activity, children will be provided a flower to bring to the felt board. This hands on process works well for circle time management. When the children bring the flower to the board, they can find which color it matches as well as the size. The Educator can promote language development by emphasizing the words bigger and biggest, smaller and smallest, and also asking the children to repeat the words. 

In addition, the flower can be used as a transition to leave the circle, for example to go wash hands for snack or to play by asking a question. For example, "Can you find me the biggest blue flower?"
