STORY TIME - with Ms. Becky

Spring is Here!

Fun with Words

"Hop & Pop - Hey, those words rhyme!" Young preschoolers are exploring words and sounds. Point out to them when you hear rhyming words in songs and books and in play.

Rhyming Game: Point to things in your environment and name them. Then see if you can think of a word that rhymes with that word i.e. fan/pan, shoe/blue, bear/hair

Read nursery rhymes to your child. See if they can guess what the rhyming word will be. Look for clues in the pictures in the book. For example, "There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, she had so many children, she didn't know what to ___." (do)

Sing rhyming songs together: "Hush Little Baby", "I'm a Little Teapot", "The Ants Go Marching"

Craft: Make butterflies out of coffee filters and pipe cleaners. Use markers and spray with water, or watercolor paint to put color onto your butterfly.

Sarah Bates is on our Board of Directors. Some of you may remember her as a past volunteer in Ms. Tarah's room. Sarah is now teaching at The Berry Patch Preschool. She and her girls have this fun idea to share with us about a "Boat Float"!
