This past week our preschool groups have been working hard to pronounce "ch" at the end of words. David McKee's book Elmer was a perfect match for this. The kids learned all about the colorful patches that made this elephant stand out from the others in a perfect way. They named their favorite colored "patch" and then enjoyed seeing all the other elephant's celebrate Elmer in a parade "march".
The children then had a chance to "change" their grey elephant to one with "patch"-work, like Elmer. Work on requesting and direction following was accomplished during this colorful art activity.
The kids shared glue cups and were careful not to take too "much"!
We played a game of musical chairs and named the color "patch" that each student sat upon.
It was fun pairing this activity with "The Ants Go Marching" song, as we had learned it earlier in the week.
