Continuing with The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle…

It is Summer!

our bees and our butterflies

Our flower

The sun shines on the flower

The rain falls gently on the flower

The bees and butterflies dance happily around the flower

A great storm comes..

the wind blows the flower

the leaves begin to fall off the flower

finally there are no petals left..

The flower opens her pod and the seeds fly away with the wind...

We have been singing about flowers and seeds.
Ask your child to sing our song Plant a little seed
 
We have also been singing about frogs...

Frog's in the meadow,
Can't get him out,
Take a little stick and
Stir him about

We began this song by playing a lily pad game where the frog hopped from lily pad to lily pad on the strong beats of the song. The children loved this game so much that I decided everyone should have four of their own lily pads to practice keeping the beat and to prepare them for reading music!
We went on a mission to collect leaves that would work for lily pads...

We pressed the leaves for a week and then began to use them in class!
