A fire that burns into the night
Vampires and skeletons are fighting a fight.”

Monster tag, where you could only run, tag, walk, and play like your character
After brainstorm we began an activity of brainstorming sentences with one another
“Once upon a time, there was a dinosaur traveling for food. He wanted food but was unable to find the supermarket. Once found, unfortunately it was closed. He then began to wander around into a forest and found a gigantic monster. The monster had food and the dinosaur tried to scare him for it but the monster jumped unbelievably high, which caused the dinosaur to forget all about his hunger and bust into hysterical laugher and applause. The dinosaur then realized how funny he was and began doing a traveling show where he would be able to laugh at his amazing skill of high jumping.”
Big Kids
Vocal warm-ups:
Placing emphasis on T sounds:
Oh what to do to die today at a minute or two 'til two
A thing distinctly hard to say yet harder still to do
For they'll beat a tattoo at twenty to two
With a rattatta tattatta tattatta too
And the dragon will come when he hears the drum
At a minute or two 'til two today
At a minute or two 'til two.
A thing distinctly hard to say yet harder still to do
For they'll beat a tattoo at twenty to two
With a rattatta tattatta tattatta too
And the dragon will come when he hears the drum
At a minute or two 'til two today
At a minute or two 'til two.
Brainstorming sentences on the titles of previous weeks:
Sleep Over/Slumber party
Missing Tooth
Cat who jumped out the window
“Once upon a time, a little girl named Kalie had pet cats named ShishCaBob, Mr Pickles, and a dog named Dora. Kalie went to the slumber party and unexpectedly ShishCaBob jumped out the window. Kaile was unaware and when ShishCaBob knocked back on the window Kaile yelled and kicked her right back out! After jumping from the window she fell on the floor and said Mewww! Her tooth then popped out. Her leg was broken and cut. She was hurt and Kalie, carefully and lovingly took her to the hospital. However, someone steals the cat from the hospital which causes Kalie to place missing posters up. The tooth fairy came later that night, but had no one to exchange candy with for the tooth. While still sad and disheartened, Kalie heard a meow at the door…IT WAS ShishCaBob!!!!!
Surprise, surprise, the tooth fairy also left a note…
