Go Dog Go!

Using single-syllable words in rhythmic repetition this Seuss-styled classic has been a favorite of preschoolers for many years. Although it has several interwoven themes (including color recognition and being a good friend) we focused on its fun use of positions in space.

Though complicated grammar lessons are better left to older students (and their teachers), even three year old's can understand the basic concepts of prepositions.

Last week the kids made their own dogs which were used to go on a preposition adventure. They placed their dogs "in front", "behind", "on top", and "under".

 

Dogs are going home and it would be fun for the kids to continue their  exploration at home. Even stating simple statements such as "your dog is under the book" expands their understanding.
