Week of Jan. 7 - 10

This week in Preschool our theme was winter! We have spent some time talking about the changes that winter brings to our environment and also spent some time playing fun winter themed games.

This week in groups, we worked on building our names (for A.M students) using puzzle peice letters, rhyming (for P.M students) finding rhyme matches and double checking our work by seeing if puzzle peice rhymes fit together. These of course were our literacy games. We also played a snowflake match game (much like a memory game) where students had to find two snowflakes that looked alike. We also read a fun book called "Snowmen At Night" by Caralyn Buehner then made up our own snowman stories as a shared writing activity. A shared writing activity is when children think up the ideas and Mrs. Reid writes them all down for the kiddos to see! They were a riot!

For our art project this week, we used black, brown, and orange oil pastels to create a snowman drawing then we dipped cotton balls into white paint to make our snowman scene look snowy! So cute and fun! They have been hung up near cubbies for your viewing pleasure!

Next week we will continue talking about winter but our focus will be on bears and other hibernating animals. We will read "The Three Little Bears" and have some fun with our book! Looking forward to a week that is not too crazy, not too dull, but JUST RIGHT! :)
