We started with cowboy boots, then cowboy hats and Day 3 of Discover the Desert: Lasso.
At circle time, we counted 13 knots on a rope. What a fun way to incorporate the sense of touch into counting! We noticed on the daily topic poster that the lasso has a knot.
Lasso Shapes
Using the shape cube and yarn, we identified shapes and made a shape with our yarn. This was fun! A great way to explore shapes.
We learned this little song and used a length of yarn to twirl while we sang:
Cowboy Had Little Rope
Cowboy had a little rope,
Little rope, little rope.
Cowboy had a little rope,
Now twirl it way up high.
Below is a video clip of our song. It’s not the greatest since the faces needed to be blurred but it gives you the idea. It was actually super cute! Loved this!
Using a paper plate and yarn, we made a simple lasso prop. The kids were really excited about them!
Cowboys sometimes use a lasso to help catch large animals like cows and horse.
What could you catch with a lasso? 
Explore twirling and tossing the lasso.
Using the horse counter manipulatives included in the Discover the Desert kit, we created a new desert sand sensory bin.
The book included in the kit this month is What Am I? featuring friendly and not so friendly faces of the desert.
What a great book! We learned about many creatures in the desert.
