Froglet Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 What do you count as everyday? Days of the week? Months? Yesterday/today/tomorrow? Weekend? This is my main objective for next week and I'm struggling to think of how to teach it as well as how much to teach. I've got The Hungry Caterpillar and The Bad Tempered ladybird in mind as possible starting points although I'm certain there's another days of the week story I just can't remember what it is. We've reached something of a hiatus interest wise so I feel I can use anything although obviously I want to engage them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 "Today's Monday"? I think it might be Eric Carle? I would also include things like 'soon', 'later', 'after lunch' etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 "Today's Monday"? I think it might be Eric Carle? I would also include things like 'soon', 'later', 'after lunch' etc Good idea! I think I'm finding this one hard because I use this language without thinking the whole time. I'm looking on this as an opportunity to get more explicit information about who doesn't 'get' tomorrow!

Sue R Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 "Today's Monday"? I think it might be Eric Carle? I may be getting a little carried away here, but could you try to get hold of a recording of The Scaffold singing their song of the same name?

sunnyday Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi Helen Not a book .......we do a little action song...... Marching on a Monday Turning on a Tuesday Wiggling on a Wednesday Thinking on a Thursday Flying on a Friday Stretching on a Saturday Swinging on a Sunday Probably not what you're looking for....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Sunnyday - I really like that! Always looking for more maths rhymes and songs - I tend to find myself getting stuck with the same old ones and then I forget how to sing/act the others! Had to get this year's class to re-teach me 5 little spacemen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 I don't know that one Panders - will look out for it, thank you. And thank you Finleysmaid - I am now singing away and clicking my fingers as I go - it's making cooking the tea quite tricky! :huh: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Seriously - 24 hours later, am still singing and clicking (and looking on Youtube for it) - am getting hungry! One of my TAs says our Christmas songs are going round her head - wait till she hears this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'm feeling a silly thread along the lines of 'how many different learning objectives can we fit to the tune of the Addams family?' coming along 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
