Food-All Kinds

First we will sing a song to get their attention: 5 Little Hot Dogs in a Frying Pan

5 Little hot dogs (hold up 5 fingers)

frying in a pan (rub hands together)

1 got hot (hold up 1 finger)

and it went BAM! ( clap your hands together)

(continue down through 1)

No little hot dogs frying in a pan (make an O with your hand)

the pan got hot (rub your hands together)

and it went BAM! (clap your hands)

The book we will read is, Bread and Jam for Francis by Russell Hoban (Please see Learning Through Literature for more information on this book)

We will then discuss trying new food and how yummy different food can be!

Activity: Sort Food Groups-discuss different kinds of food (we have a bunch of plastic food we will be using but pictures work just as well)

I am so excited to do a science project, today's is called 'Raisin Rising' (Put clear carbonated water in a clear jar. Place 4-5 raisins in the jar. Watch how the air bubbles make raisins rise and fall!)

Gross Motor: The kids will do an action to a fruit, meat, veggie, etc. “Jump to a fruit”

Table Time: For our fine motor activity we will be making carrots. I have cut out the top and main parts of a carrot (the orange part and the green 'leafy' part) and glued them together. However with the green part I did not make it 'leafy'. I drew a line toward the bottom for the kids to practice cutting and stopping at a specific spot. (Please see picture)

For our fun art activity I've mixed shaving cream, glue and food coloring together. On a piece of paper I have glued on a brown triangle for the ice cream cone. The kids will then finger paint with the shaving cream mixture and make the ice cream. They will then be able to sprinkle on some sprinkles (you can use real or confetti).
