Lori, Great Job! I really liked the singing and movement before starting the card activity. It not only tied in with the lesson, but it provided a way to get some wiggles out before settling in. Have you heard of Kinesthetics for Kids? It is a method of helping students to prepare for engagement in learning by using movement to stimulate the thinking processes. It's complicated to explain, but there are books on it. The Multiple Intelligences were very visible in your planning. Garner would be proud of you!
