Daily Question: Are you ready for our Pajama Party?
Toys: Pirate ships, puppets & puppet theater, playhouse, puzzles,...
Songs: Popcorn Popping, Piggie Polka, The Pancake Song.
Snacks: Pancakes (with maple syrup or strawberry jam), peaches, purple plums, popcorn, and pudding.
Other P Foods: We had fun brainstorming other food that start with P (a surprising amount) Peanut butter, pretzels, pizza, pepperoni, pop (soda), puff pancakes, pears, peas, plums, pudding, Popsicles, pasta, peaches, potatoes, potato chips, pie, pork, pickles, pumpkin, peppers, peanuts, pistachios, pineapple, parsley, parsnips, prunes, Parmesan cheese, pinenuts, etc.
Media: Every pajama party needs a movie--we watched a couple of minutes of an award winner Waterford Institute ABCs.
Games: Who is the Pig under our blanket?
"Guess what 'P' things is hiding under our blanket?" The children were very clever when they caught on to the rules of this game. They came up with: pot, play dough, a puppy, a pelican, a puppet, a pepper, a pirate, a paint brush, etc.
Craft: We talked about P the Pelican who popped popcorn "p-p-p" and picked up pop for his pals. We listened to Nathan's bag of Kettle popcorn popping in the microwave and repeated "p-p-p." Then we enjoyed eating copious amounts of the fluffy stuff while trying to glue it to an uppercase and lowercase P.
