Little Cat

This week for Large Group, we continued to practice saying the /k/ sound by talking about things that start with the /k/ sound.  We also sang the Happy Birthday Cake and Cookies Song.  We are getting really good at saying happy birthday and hooray with our hands.  

We also met my friend Pete the Cat.  We talked about some of the things that Pete likes to do.  One of the things he likes to do is hide. 

We played a game called "Little Cat" where we hid our eyes while Teacher Heidi hid a cat under one of the colored hats on the floor.  When we opened our eyes, we took turns guessing which hat we thought the cat might be under.  We used our words to guess which color hat and we also used our words to ask Little Cat if he was under that hat.  We tapped our knees while we said, "Little Cat, Little Cat are you under the yellow hat?"

Teacher Heidi then moved the hat and we answered "yes" he's under the hat or "no", he's "NOT" under the hat.  This activity helped us use our color words.  It also helped us work on asking and answering questions and following directions.
