Hi Friend

This week for Large Group, we talked about the "H" or panting dog sound.  We looked at different objects that start with the "H" sound and practiced saying the names of them.  We practiced saying the word hippo, horse, house, hat, helmet, hanger and hi.

We sand the Hi Song where we sang about saying "hi" to different objects.
We went around the circle and said our names and when we did, our friends said "hi" to us.

We played a game where we said the name of a classmate and then rolled a ball to them and then they said the name of someone else and rolled the ball to them.  Everyone got a chance to catch and roll the ball.

We sang and danced to the song, Hello Neighbor.  When we were singing this song, we turned to our neighbor, or the person NEXT TO us and greeted them, gave them a fist bump and then turned around.  We learned that the word neighbor can mean someone next to you.  We pointed to who was next to us and said their name.  

You can practice this at home by saying "hi" to things or people you see.  You can also work on the concept next to by having your child put things next to them or identify what is next to them.
