Monthly Fill-In Activities

At the end of snack, our assistants read stories to the students at their table. Some of the books for this month include:
The Spider and the Fly
Room on the Broom
A House in the Woods
The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything
The Fox and the Falling Leaves
When I Feel Good About Myself
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
One Duck Stuck
Pete the Cat-Wheels on the Bus
Pumpkin Countdown

We also have different times during the day that we need 'fillers'. For example, this last week when it was too cold and wet to go outside. Some activities we are doing to fill this time include our song board, "Guess Who ( is hiding under the blanket)" & Doggy Doggy, "Where's Your Bone" (we have not done this one yet).

Favorites this last week are the Spooky Walk (Click here to hear the same version of the song we use) and "The Halloween House" (Sung to the tune of the Wheels on the Bus"). We let the students decide what is in our house and what they say or do in the house. An example:

The Ghosts in the house go whooo whooo whooo,
Whooo whooo whooo,
Whooo whooo whooo.
The Ghosts in the house go whooo whooo whooo,
On Halloween
