Chickens Aren't the Only Ones

2chckncntryspck.gif

Circle/Group Time


I see a bird (repeat song)

Have children repeat each line of the song and do the motions

I see a bird  (place hands above eyes)

Up in a tree (point)

If I sit very still  (sit still)

It will fly to me  (make flapping motion)

Here it comes  (make flapping motion)

Now it’s on my arm  (hold up arm)

If I don’t move  (hold very still)

It’ll be safe from harm  (nuzzle hand)

Now if I’m as quiet as I can be  (hold finger to lips)

It’ll sit on my shoulder  (place hand on shoulder

And watch with me

*Little Egg  (sung to: London Bridges)

Written by: Kids World Exploration

Little chick goes peep, peep, peep

Peep, peep, peep

Peep, peep, peep

Little chick goes peep, peep, peep

When it hatched from its egg

Little snake goes hiss, hiss, hiss

Hiss, hiss, hiss

Hiss, hiss, hiss

Little snake goes, hiss, hiss, hiss

When it hatched from its egg

Little duck goes quack, quack, quack

Little fish goes bloop, bloop, bloop

Little bird goes chirp, chirp, chirp

*Introduce the letter (B, b) and word bird to the class; add bird under the letter B with a picture of a bird to your word wall.  Show the children objects that start with the letter B, b(bead, basket, ball).  See if the children can find objects that start with the letter B in the classroom environment.  Use word alliteration with the letter B so the children can hear the sound.  Baby bird blue basked in the bright sun.

Small Group/Child Choice

 

*Egg Roll Painting Place paper inside a shallow box.  Set out trays of paint.  Have children dip egg into paint trays and they place on the sheet of paper inside the box.  Have children move the box back and forth casing the egg to move around the box.  Repeat with different colors.  Set out to dry.

*Egg Match Cut out a supply of egg shapes from wall paper scraps and wrapping paper scraps.  Laminate the eggs for durability.  After laminating the eggs cut them in half like they have been cracked open.  Have the children match the eggs and put them back together.

*Plastic Egg Float Set out dish pans on a table.  Place plastic eggs in the pans and water.  Set out a supply of small fish nets and straining spoons.  Have the children scoop out the eggs using the fish nets.  Set out a supply of plastic buckets with the different colored eggs marked on the outside of each bucket.  Encourage the children to drop the eggs into the matching bucket.

*Egg Carton Math Match Set out a supply of plastic eggs and egg cartons.  On the inside top of egg carton place a number of 1-12 or 1-18 depending on the size of egg carton.  Have the children open up the egg carton find the number and place the right amount of eggs in the carton.

Setting Up the Environment

Dramatic Play

Turn your dramatic play area into an Egg House Restaurant.  Add Egg House Menu from the back of the lesson.  Add egg cartons, plastic eggs, egg beater cartons, omelet maker, stacking bowls, wire whisks, aprons, register, order pads and play money.

Block Area

Add sections of PVC rain gutters so the children can create ramps.  Cut a 10 ft. section into 2 ft. and 3 ft. sections. (You can purchase at Home Depot or any home center for about $10.00 for 10 ft.)  Add a basket of plastic eggs so the children can experiment with gravity, angles and slopes.
