EDU 284 Early Capstone Practicum Module 2- Transitions and Piggy Back Songs Reflective Journal Dena Bowden February 6, 2024

1. Swing like a chimpanzee (to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat) Song goes as follows swing, swing, swing like a chimpanzee, up in the tree so high! Swing, s How do I swing, swing like a chimpanzee, reach for the sky! The purpose of this transition is to work with gross motor skills and reinforce vocabulary related to different animals. The animals do not necessarily have to be chimpanzees, they can be whatever animal the teacher picks, but I will be using chimpanzees. How the transition will be used. the children will sit in a circle and the teacher or I'll be singing a fun song about the chimpanzee in the tree this song encourages children to get the sillies out fun movements mimicking a champion swinging in a tree this is also an activity that can be done while seated so if you do have any children withstanding difficulties that could participate in this activity as well. 2.

The children are sitting in a semi- circle and I am sitting in front of them, I will then ask a child to stand on the yellow square that child I will ask questions such as what are you wearing today if they can't really express themselves I would ask open-ended questions such as you have on a beautiful shirt what color is your shirt at this point the child will respond back and the peers are also encouraged to respond to help the child if they do not know what color shirt they have on I will proceed down to pants shoes and if they have on any jewelry or beads after which they have named everything that they're wearing today and the colors I
