Calendar Helper: The Calendar Helper get to point while the class says the pattern of calendar pictures. This month's pattern is "frog-frog-lily pad". The Calendar Helper adds the new number for the day and points as the class counts all of the numbers. And finally the Calendar Helper chooses if we will clap, jump, or jump & clap the number of the date. It can be quite a workout near the end of the month. |
The Caboose is the last person in line. They make sure everyone gets safely to our destination. The Caboose also has some other special duties. The Caboose counts the children when we lineup to come in from the playground, and holds the door. On rainy days, when we ride bikes in the hallway, the Caboose gets to pickup the cones when we are finish. So far not a popular job, that is why there is not a photo.
