Ready? Where's your worms?

0:00:08.776,0:00:09.456
Find your worms.

0:00:10.686,0:00:12.996
[Chanting] Five little worms[br]are sitting in the garden.

0:00:13.076,0:00:13.786
One tunnels [phonetic] underground.

0:00:13.786,0:00:15.896
Then there are four little wiggle[br]worms playing in the garden,

0:00:15.926,0:00:16.976
one tunnels underground, and then there are?

0:00:17.506,0:00:17.856
>> Four.

0:00:18.116,0:00:18.976
>> Four!

0:00:19.596,0:00:23.246
[Chanting] Four little wiggle[br]worms playing in the garden.

0:00:23.246,0:00:25.696
One tunnels underground, then there was?

0:00:26.486,0:00:27.226
>> Three.

0:00:27.306,0:00:29.476
>> Three.

0:00:30.416,0:00:33.786
[Chanting] Three little wiggle[br]worms playing in the garden,

0:00:34.246,0:00:37.616
one tunneled underground, then there was?

0:00:38.716,0:00:39.236
>> One.

0:00:39.766,0:00:41.426
>> Two.

0:00:42.476,0:00:46.316
[Chanting] Two little wiggle[br]worm playing in the garden.

0:00:46.406,0:00:48.976
One tunneled underground, then there were?

0:00:49.516,0:00:51.996
[ Inaudible ]

0:00:52.496,0:00:53.976
One.

0:00:54.386,0:00:57.436
[Chanting] One little wiggle[br]worm playing in the garden.

0:00:57.596,0:01:03.976
He tunneled underground, then there was none.

0:01:04.166,0:01:05.306
They all went underground to eat.

0:01:05.306,0:01:09.506
What we do is when we find a chant or[br]book, we usually get the vocabularies.

0:01:09.536,0:01:12.076
We pull the vocabularies out[br]of the book or the chants.

0:01:12.726,0:01:16.406
We try to make movements with them, like[br]when they wiggle, you wiggle your fingers,

0:01:16.406,0:01:18.006
they jiggle or they move their bodies.

0:01:18.166,0:01:23.506
We also try to do dramatic play with[br]them, using puppets and fingerplays.

0:01:23.726,0:01:28.046
We initiate the activities[br]by observing the children.

0:01:28.586,0:01:32.856
It is very important to try[br]and pick up some vocabularies

0:01:32.856,0:01:36.536
that they can use throughout the weekly plan.

0:01:37.146,0:01:42.266
When we choose our vocabularies, we try to[br]choose it off an anchor text that we use.

0:01:43.356,0:01:47.036
We utilize it with books, songs, chants.

0:01:47.716,0:01:50.756
We post them throughout the[br]classroom, so that they are --

0:01:51.396,0:01:55.066
we are able to speak with[br]them throughout the day.

0:01:55.186,0:02:00.436
While the children are playing, it catches[br]their eye, and they start using it.

0:02:00.666,0:02:04.316
They memorize, they pretty much[br]memorize the chant, or the song,

0:02:04.656,0:02:08.776
or the book that we're using, and[br]they tell the story to themselves,

0:02:08.776,0:02:10.976
or to their peers, or even to the teachers.

0:02:13.866,0:02:18.456
Yesterday, you had some worms at your house?

0:02:18.456,0:02:19.516
Did you find them?

0:02:19.956,0:02:20.686
Where did you find them?

0:02:21.076,0:02:22.846
Where do the worms live?

0:02:22.926,0:02:24.466
>> In the garden.

0:02:24.766,0:02:25.776
>> In the garden.

0:02:25.986,0:02:26.816
What do they eat?

0:02:26.976,0:02:33.876
>> They eat dirt, huh, when they're hungry.

0:02:33.876,0:02:37.326
What happens when it rains?

0:02:37.486,0:02:37.866
>> The rain [inaudible].

0:02:38.326,0:02:40.486
>> The rain comes down on them.

0:02:40.486,0:02:42.176
>> They make puzzles.

0:02:43.376,0:02:44.356
>> They make puzzles.

0:02:44.846,0:02:47.826
Yeah? Do you like to make[br]puzzles with the worms?

0:02:48.486,0:02:49.286
Do they wiggle?

0:02:49.446,0:02:50.386
>> Yeah.

0:02:50.906,0:02:51.266
>> Yeah.

0:02:51.266,0:02:52.026
>> They go like this.

0:02:52.026,0:02:53.556
>> How? Show me.

0:02:53.606,0:02:54.486
>> Then they move.

0:02:54.486,0:02:55.326
>> Like this.

0:02:55.636,0:02:56.916
>> they wiggle like that on your hand?

0:02:56.916,0:02:59.446
Does it tickle your fingers?

0:02:59.646,0:03:00.296
>> Yeah.

0:03:00.436,0:03:01.576
>> Yeah, when you touch them?

0:03:02.036,0:03:04.656
Using repetition is very[br]important with our toddlers.

0:03:05.266,0:03:09.316
That's why we use vocabulary[br]words over and over,

0:03:09.316,0:03:12.226
so that they can remember[br]what we're telling them.

0:03:12.416,0:03:18.896
And that's where -- they're using the words[br]they can add to that, so to make sentences,

0:03:19.346,0:03:21.216
whether it's one word, two words.

0:03:21.836,0:03:26.946
And when they're chanting the songs, it's[br]pretty much putting the vocabulary into them,

0:03:26.996,0:03:30.106
so that they know how to say it in a sentence.

0:03:30.936,0:03:35.696
And so sometimes, you do -- you hear the[br]kids saying the chants throughout the day,

0:03:36.346,0:03:37.866
and we continue it with them.

0:03:37.866,0:03:38.786
We sing it with them.

0:03:39.276,0:03:43.936
Or if they see the book out on the shelf,[br]they'll pull it out, and we read it to them,

0:03:44.096,0:03:45.766
and that helps them with their vocabulary.
