CIRCLE TIME PLAN

NAME: __Nicole Ludwikoski____ SITE: ___Nicoles Home Care_______

Age Group: 3-5

Number in Group: 3


Concepts/Skills:
The children will be able to identify other
things a stick can be
The children will also be able to relate a
stick to other objects.
Settler:
I would use the Twirling Ribbon Wand.
I would wave it over the group after the
children have come inside and are all excited
about their new sticks. They will recognize
this as time to settle down.
Story/Book:
Not a Stick
By : Antoinette Portis

Games:
Go outside and gather sticks.
Bring them back in and have each child tape
their sticks to their own large sheet of
paper. The children then use crayons and
their imagination to turn the sticks into
something that was not a stick






Music/Songs/Creative Movement:
Sing:
Hurry, Hurry, Seasons Changing

Hurry, Hurry, Spring is coming

At the beach and at the pool!
Hurry, Hurry, Autumns coming

Hurry, Hurry, Winters coming
See all the snow falling,
Hurry, Hurry, Winters coming

Other Activities:
When the drawings are finished have each
of the children dictate to me a story about
their stick. Start the story with Its not a
stick. Its a .. and the children will half to
complete the sentence.


Transition:
When getting ready to go outside I would
also wave the Ribbon wand around the

Do this until they are all getting ready to go
outside to pick up sticks.
