Rudolph

Today we read the following Rudolph color poem:
 
Rudolph! Rudolph!
What will you do?
You can’t guide Santa
IF your nose is

blue!
Rudolph! Rudolph!
You’re such a silly fellow,
Who will know it’s you
If your nose is

yellow!
Rudolph! Rudolph!
Your way cannot be seen
Through the wintry weather
If your nose is

green!
Rudolph! Rudolph!
Santa gave a wink,
But what will Santa think
If your nose is

pink?
Rudolph! Rudolph!
It’s time to fly at night
But you’re quite a sight
Cause your nose is

white!
Rudolph! Rudolph!
It’s time to go to town
But Santa’s wearing a frown
Cause your nose is

brown!
Rudolph! Rudolph!
Santa has his sack,
But you’re not ready
If your nose is

black!
Rudolph! Rudolph!
The children are in bed.
And now I know you’re ready
Cause your nose is

red!
 
During center time the children made their own take home book based on this poem.  The objective of this poem is to practice rhyming words.  Red sounds the same as bed they rhyme.  Yellow sounds the same as fellow they rhyme.
 
In keeping with the literacy theme the children played the Christmas stocking mystery game.  Each child took a turn pulling one item out of the stocking.  They identified the object that they pulled out.  They then decided what letter it began with. The children then put the item in the corresponding gift bag.  If your child needs extra help with beginning sounds, this activity can be easily replicated at home.  Just collect small objects around the house and place them in a stocking.
