(Linked above, just the chorus) For our games, and then we incorporated science and talked about our momentum, and why it's harder to stop when you're running, or dancing, than it is when you are walking, or not dancing as aggressively. Ask your preschooler about this!

Then we each crafted a different farm animal, presented our animal to the class, and talked about how we share certain hygiene skills, (like how we brush our hair, so does a horse).

(Research has come out saying that older movies are physiologically better for a child’s cognitive development than newer movies and shows like Cocomelon and Ms. Rachael because they stimulate a child's brain. It's equivalent to a drug as a stimulant.) We also played duck, duck goose, and then for our 'school' chunk of the day, after we watched the movie, we wrote a grammatically correct (at our level) on what we took away from the movie.

And then, we counted how many times we could jump over each other, by 5s, 10s, and 1s. They counted now many times everyone jumped, and how many they did, keeping track of numerous numbers at a time.
