The birds have been singing, the flowers are blooming and all has come alive in our region of the country. So, we will be changing our circle time songs this week to reflect the lovely Spring season. The upcoming month of May is devoted to The Blessed Mother so the hymns we will be learning are Marian. The songs, fingerplays and poem will be about animals, weather and gardening.
We begin by lighting a candle, mentioning the current day and date. We then make a Morning Offering: "Dear Lord Jesus, I give you today, all that I think and do and say."
Two Little Blackbirds (fingerplay)
Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Grow
He's Got the Whole World in His Hands
Poem:
The Wind by Robert Louis Stevenson
Hymn: Alternate every other day
Immaculate Mary
Salve Regina
Closing prayer "May my hands work with care, my heart work with love and my mind work with attention. Amen." The children blow out the candle.
