- "God Made Me" Poem
Here are my fingers, here are my toes
Here are my knees, here is my nose.
Here are my feet that help me walk around
Here is my mouth that can make sound
Here are my ears, my shoulders, my belly
Here is my tongue that eats grape jelly
Here is my hair that is crazy you see
Here is my smile that God gave me!
- Do you Know Who Made the World? (Thank you, Connie, for this idea.)
Tune: "Mary Had a Little Lamb" or "Do You Know the Muffin Man"
Do you know who made me happy,
made me happy, made me happy?
Do you know who made me happy?
It was God who made me.
(Change the word "happy" for other emotions. Remember that God created all emotions to be used for good.)
• Self-care and Manners:
Dressing is much harder than undressing. Here are some hints: Lay the child's clothes on the floor exactly how the clothing needs to be put on. Lay the underwear and pants so that the child can sit and pull them up to his/her knees. Then have the child stand and pull the clothing up the rest of the way. Lay the non-button shirt with the front down so that the child can pull it over his/her head. With socks, teach the child to pull them up before teaching him/her to put the socks on (teaching backwards). Practice with clothing that is a little too big to give more wiggle room.
• Shape Activities:
- Sing the Circle Song.
• Color Activity:
Eat purple and green grapes - say the color of the grape as you eat it.
• Thanksgiving Ideas from ABCJLM
• Fine Motor Skill:
Place the Circle Poster on a vertical surface. Place various stickers on the paper. If possible add stickers that correspond with the rest of the week's learning: purple, green, clothing, circles, different facial expressions (smiley faces).
• Gross Motor Skill:
Use pieces of painter’s tape or sidewalk chalk to make large outlines on the floor of the shapes learned thus far - circle, square, and triangle. Have your child identify the shape and then let them walk, crawl, or hop around the edges of the shapes. Note: Do not use masking tape, as it will leave a residue.
