It's Thursday and that means we have only one more fun filled day of learning about ponds. During story time today, our red group read Little Quack's New Friend by Lauren Thompson. The ducks in this pond saw a little green frog jump into their pond so they decided to become friends with him and noticed how different he was than a duck. In our blue group, we read Good Morning, Pond by Alyssa Satin Capucilli. This book talks about how each animal that lives in a pond has a different morning routines than the other animals do. For our large group activity, we used our fine motor and literacy skills to learn some pond sign language. We learned different pond animals in sign language including frog, duck, turtle, and fish. We made play dough ponds in our first small group. We created the play dough ponds using our sensory and science skills to place frogs, stones, and fake grass into our ponds. In our other small group, we used our math and cognition skills to count to the numbers on lily pads. We used frogs to hop on the lily pads.
