Today we read one of my all time favorite stories One Duck Stuck. "Splish, clomp, pleep, plop, plunk, sloosh, slosh, slink, zing." When, "Down by the marsh, by the sleepy, slimy marsh, one duck gets stuck in the muck," who comes to the rescue? Two fish, splishing, for starters. Then three moose clomping, four crickets pleeping, and so on. Still, "No luck. Still stuck." It takes a whole lot of teamwork to get this particular stuck duck unstuck from the muck.
At an independent center today the children followed a set of directions to make a duck puppet of their own. Now until the end of the school year it is my goal to prepare the children for kindergarten. In kindergarten they are going to have to follow multiple step directions and complete tasks independently. We will use the puppet the children made to retell the story.
At another center the children used pudding to finger paint muck. They then stuck their duck in the muck. At the last center the children played a duck drop game that had them working on the concept of greater then and fewer.
