I Can...

January 5, 2012 - I CAN

Playing before school


Today's lesson was all about the things "I Can do"!!!!

We started by talking about all the things the kids could do and compared them to Levi and how he could not do many things they could do. Then we all shared something we could do and I wrote it down on a slip of paper and put it in the "I CAN" jar.

Matthew said "I can sleep by myself"

Lucy said "I can snap"

Mason said "I can jump really high"

London said "I can skip"

Sadly we were missing Ethan.






We had a lesson about the letter "O" and our word for the week "Optimistic."

I read them a story about Thomas the Train and emphasized some of the things he was able to do.

Then it was time for the Hokey Pokey...just to show off all the things we could do.



Well after the first minute no one wanted to do it anymore. They just wanted to run around. I took a quick little video of the kids running in circles until they were silly!





Then I had to cover them up with the blanket to get their attention again! We spontanteously played a game to see if "I Can" be quiet or loud.

We finished the day making owls. The kids were so cute while they were making them. At first someone said it was hard and I said "You have to be optimistic. Say I can do it. I am optimistic!" The entire craft time, each time anyone glued anything thing on they shouted "I can do it! I am optimistic!" It was so funny and cute!
