Text Box: What Will the Three-Year-Olds Do This Week? 5/7 - 5/11/2012 MOTHERS/MARY MOTHER OF GOD Literature: This week we will focus on our mother. We will prepare for Mother’s Day. Some of the stories we will read are: Just For You by Mercer Mayer, Mamma Zooms – about a mother in wheel chair, Are You My Mother and the story Of Mary’s life. Craft: The children will be working on their Mother’s Day project. They will also color and decorate a May basket. The all week children will color and cut out shapes to design their own May flowers. The children will also color a “stained-glass window” of Mary. The all week children will watercolor a picture of Mary. Math: We will review numbers 1 – 10 using various table top games. The children will make a May bonnet of the number 10 – decorating the bonnet with 10 dots/stickers. On Wednesday, the children will work in centers completing different activities involving mommies and their babies such as drawing lines to match them, sequencing games, card games and puzzles, as well as a memory game. They will strengthen find motor skills by tracing the letters in their first name. Science: Our annual plant sale is on! We will discuss the different kinds of plants for sale.

After reading “Are You My Mother?” we will reflect on what our own mother looks like and how we would know her if we saw her.
