Happy Spring!
Knowing New England weather we will probably need snow pants again before the flowers come up, but we are still feeling excited here in Preschool!
This week we continued our Community Helper unit. Our block area became a Construction zone, complete with signs and hard hats, heavy lifting and activity.
Preschoolers got to dig around for magnets in the sensory table, and there was lots of activity in the Writing Center Post Office.
For group time we played Community Helper games that involved counting and sorting, played Fire Truck Bingo to practice identifying numbers 1-10 and worked on our creativity and cutting skills by making our own menus!
The AM class explored Art out of recyclable materials this week, making pirate ships, factories and towers, and the PM class worked as X-Ray technicians to make their own X-Rays out of black paper and Q-Tips.
We've been playing alot of rhyming and beginning sound games on the rug at meeting so feel free to ask your preschooler to come up with a rhyme or give you a word that starts like...
See you all Monday!
-Miss Kate and Miss Amanda
By the way...
While studying our Five Senses, the AM and PM Preschool each created a group poem (all in their own words) about Winter Senses and so here they are. Consider this a "See ya later" to Winter!
WINTER SENSES
by the AM Preschool
I SEE...snow, snow falls on the ground, snowflakes, birds, snow on the ground
I HEAR...drip drip drop, a bird going toot toot toot, children, birds, Santa Claus
I SMELL...oranges, hot chocolate, dirt, cookies from the oven
I TASTE...snowy snowflakes, icicles, applesauce and lollipops
I TOUCH...snow, soft and crunchy and hard, the bus, ice, digging snow
WINTER SENSES
by the PM Preschool
I SEE...snow, snowballs, snow falling down from the sky, ice, people making snowmen
I HEAR...cracks on the ice, I hear ice too and it goes crack crack crack! Snow falling down. I hear ice when I'm skating kkk-kkk
I SMELL...cooking peppermint patties, ice and when I smell it it makes my nose stuff, candles when they're blown out, gas, when fire cools off it smells good.
I TASTE...snow, ice, food
I TOUCH...cold, smooth, bumpy snow
