• In Movement with Lindsay, we played our instruments along to the rhythm book – Man Gave Names to All The Animals, by Bob Dylan.
• In Library with Lindsay, we read Anansi The Spider by Gerald McDermott.
• In Art we continued working on our ceramic tiles, by adding our handprint in a fun color, and we enjoyed playing with water beads at the light table.

 
Classroom Activities:
 

• We sang many nursery rhymes including Twinkle Twinkle, Humpty Dumpty, and Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Twinkle Twinkle

• Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
• How I wonder what you are.
• Up above the world so high,
• Like a diamond in the sky.
• In the dark blue sky you keep,
• Often through my curtains peep,
• For you never shut your eye,
• Till the sun is in the sky.
• Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
• How I wonder what you are!!
