We learned all about crabs today! Our focus was on the Red Crab that travel to lay their eggs in the ocean. We watched a video clip showing the thousands of crabs making the trip to the ocean and doing their “egg laying shimmy.” We practiced our very best sideways crab walk and a little egg laying shimmy. Ask your pre-ker to show you! We then read a fun book by Ruth Galloway called Clumsy Crab. Ms. Lori helped us make our very own Clumsy Crabs to add to our classroom decor.
After reading out reading group book, Can You See the Skunk?, we found the sight word stamps that matched the words in our book. Then we stamped them on our paper and wrote the words.
Toddlers begin with parallel play (Parallel play is characterized by children playing the same game next to each other but with very little interaction).

It is so exciting to see this beginning in our class
