Fingerplay:
I have 10 fingers and they all belong to me
I can do things do you want to see?
I can make them go high. (reach up towards sky)
I can make them go low. (bring hands down towards floor)
I can shake them very fast. (shake hands very fast)
I can shake them very slow. (shake hands very slow)
I can hide them behind my back. (hide them behind your back)
I can put them at my side (put hands at your side)
I can close them up tight (close hands into fists)
I can open them up wide (open them up wide)
I can go clap, clap, clap.
fold them and put them on my lap.
Storytime App with laptop:
Eric Carle's My Very First App
This is a beautiful interactive app for preschoolers. It has six different games for preschoolers identifying colors, animal homes, numbers, shapes, animal sounds and food. They are also leveled, easy, medium and hard. I played the numbers game at the easy level with the kids today. This was still quite challenging for them. They do enjoy when I bring the laptop out. I am careful to select well reviewed apps that are interactive. I think it gives the children exposure to the new technology available as well as teaching them their early literacy skills.
