Morning Circle:
Letter "D." Introduce the letter D (B&W) to the
children. Show or write the letter D. Make the "d"
sound with the children.
Play a "d"-word guessing game. Describe a duck
for example. Give the children clues: it lives on a
farm, it swims, it has feathers, it quacks. When the
children guess the correct answer, repeat it with the
children: "d-d-d-duck." You might even like to show
the word and a picture to reinforce the sound and
letter. Try some other "d"-words: dinosaur,
donkey, daisy, door, dog.
Explain that today's theme is all about dogs. Spend
a few moments talking with the children about any
dogs they own, or about their favorite dogs. What
are some of the characteristics of dogs? Furry?
Smelly? Fun? Messy? Naughty? Friendly?

(You can often find some really neat "faux fur" at craft supply stores.) Then, play Charlotte Diamond's "I Wanna Be a Dog" from the Music section, and let the children act like dogs. |
Give each child a baggie filled with raisins, chex mix,
stick-shaped pretzels, crisped rice cereal, cheerio
cereal, etc. Encourage the children to count, sort,
and organize all the different types of "kibble."
Incorporate into snack-time if you wish.
