PRESCHOOL LANGUAGE AND
MOVEMENT LESSON
By Miss Terry and Miss
Sharon
This
month's book is Buzz by Janet S. Wong. The hand rhyme is Behive (see attached). We
will do the hand rhyme and act out the story weekly. In addition to these activities, we will be playing with
shaving cream and balloons and making bee puppets, tissue paper flowers and
banana shakes. Ask your
child to do the hand rhyme with you and tell you about the story.
