Joy School: Unit 7: Dramatizations

This lesson seemed a bit scattered to me but I think that was because I'm a little more tired with the pregnancy.

We started with painting with Clorox and Q-tips on colored paper.

They enjoyed this effect and painted for a long time.

Then we sang "Doodle Caboodle" and "Spontaneous Delight".

Next, we did "Five Little Monkeys" and acted out "Five Little Ducks". They did very well with pretending to be ducks and going away and coming back when the song said to.

The ended this lesson with first reading "Caps for Sale" by E. Slobodkina and then acting it out.

Chloe was the peddler. Luc and Hailey were the monkeys. I got the cowboy hats from the dollar store.

The kids did great and really got into it. Hailey loves the cowboy hats and plays with them all the time now.

I remember doing this with the Joy School I was apart of when I was little. I have a picture of me being the peddler. Too bad it's in a box in the back of the storage unit or I would've uploaded that cute picture of me too. I remember this activity specifically because of that picture which is why I try to keep this blog as updated as possible, so Hailey can remember.
