The numbers are in the tote on my desk. The tape is in the Art Gallery on the shelf. The Leader also does the weather. We briefly review our class rules found on the board beside the ‘bees’. REVIEW THE ALPHABET Sing the Alphabet song. Try lining the children up in alphabetical order by their names. Ask “Do we have anyone here who’s name begins with an “A” OK! Angela, You come over here to stand. “Now do we have someone who’s name begins with a “B”? and so on….. REVIEW THE BOOK ‘CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM’ Play the tape that is in the tape player. I think you will need to rewind it first, and Marie knows how to work it. J ANNOUNCE THAT THEY CAN USE THE ALPHABET STAMPS & THE REST OF THE ALPHA-BITS (cereal found in blue plastic tub in snack area) TO CREATE A FUN PICTURE IN THE ART GALLERY.
