Five Green Speckled Frogs

My baby's favorite felt story and rhyme. This felt story is one of my handmade creations "Arts & Crafts". Obviously the "Five Green Speckled Frogs felt story and his rhyme teaches basic mathematics from 1 to 5 and subtraction from 5 to 1. It enhances cognitive skills and rhyhtm and recognition of numbers.

Children will never get bored, when you introduce this simple but wonderful felt story. As an educator the most possible way of delivering this story is through animation, if you know how to make sounds and actions, this story is a winner.

This felt story also can be use for transition.

Five Green and Speckled Frogs

Five Green and speckled frogs

Sat on the mossy logs

Eating the most delicious bugs

Yum!!! Yum!!!

One jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool

Now there are four green 

Speckled frogs.

(Continue the rhyme until no more frog)

Classroom Decorations 2016 - 2017

Classroom Decorations 2016 - 2017

This year, I decided to change a little bit my classroom decoration and the listing of names in our classroom. The classroom theme is still about nature and so I reuse the tree and bee hives.

The happy monkey represents our classroom who occupied the children ages 2 to 3 years old.

The group of happy lady bugs represents the group of children in our care.

The group of happy butterflies also represent the children in our care.

The bees on the beehive are the names of the children with their birthdays.

Daycare Classroom Decoand the Meaning

This was my classroom decorations last year 2015 - 2016. 

I got this ideas from online while searching for a daycare classroom decorations. I just forgot the site, sorry but I give credit to the owner of that picture who posted on that blog. Though the arts and crafts I made is different but the main idea is the same.

This is the meaning of my classroom decoration last year

I will enumerate what I did here:

• The plant - represents our classroom
• The two branches - represents two groups
• Two flowers - the stigma (yellow part of the flower located in the middle) represent the teachers or the educators who taking care of the children in each group
• The 8 petals on each flower - they are the children in their respective groups
• 5 drops of water - the way we treats children in our classroom (Care, Respect, Patience, Love and Kindness)
