Mommy School

I was the first volunteer to teach our Mommy School for two and a half and three year olds.

Using the letter A, I organized a lesson and activities.

We started with circle time and sang
Old McDonald Had a Farm using animal puppets.
Then we used the animal puppets to have a puppet show from behind the couch.
We learned about arms and used them when we sang the Hokey Pokey.

We made apple smiles (apple wedges with peanut butter and marshmallows or raisins for teeth) and did apple prints (cut an apple in half, dip in paint, and stamp on a paper, it makes a star in the middle)

Each of the children practiced using a crayon or marker to trace a lowercase and uppercase aA.

Then we read a story called, "There's an Alligator under my Bed."

Of course, the kids played for a while, outside and with the train table. We also did some games, including a ring toss.

Good times, and a little education. So, for the next 5 Wednesdays, it's another mom's turn with our kids for 2 hours.

Pretty sweet deal!
