Mrs. K's "Cozy Little Cabin" D - E - F

In this class, Mrs. K opens with "Seven Days Are In a Week," which parents may not realize is sung at the beginning of every class when they meet in the regular classroom. So while that may seem repetitive in these videos, the patterns and rhythms of "routine" are a big part of learning in preschool. The same is true with the song the class sings at the end of every class. We hope that each family is finding a rhythm in some healthy routines in these passing days even though we look forward to the day when the normal rhythms of life return.

Mrs. K reviews the letters D, E, and F and the five senses with an emphasis on "hearing" and attentiveness. The story is "How Do Dinosaurs Say I'm Mad?" by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague, an important story about HOW NOT TO BEHAVE when you are upset. Temper tantrums are not acceptable, and this book illustrates how such behaviour is disrespectful, disappointing, and destructive. Acting out in anger is and always a bad choice. Elmo makes a special "guest appearance" during the "sorting game."
