F is for Frog

What a hopping good time we've had this week. We learned the life cycle of the frog, made frog hats, and learned about the letter "F". We've done more counting and patterning practice. We also painted turtles.

Z is for Zoo

This week we learned about many animals. We practiced our counting and sorting, and played memory.
We made zipper rubbings and zebras.
We had a stuffed animal zoo and animal masks.
Guess who?

M Week

Sorry I'm a little slow getting this post up.

For M week, we made:

Me Books

Macaroni M's

Played with the Marble Maze

Marched with Musical instruments, and

Played Musical Chairs (this is even more fun when no one gets eliminated)

Welcome!

Welcome to preschool. What a great first week we had. It has been fun getting to know the children. We've been learning the classroom routine and class rules. We've read stories, practiced writing our names, colored, and much more. Here they are hard at play - learning to share and take turns. Remember, play is the work of children.

Congratulations Graduates!

Can you believe the year is already over. What a great time we had. I am truly going to miss this delightful group of children. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of their lives!

"We loved preschool, it was fun

We were friends with everyone.

We learned our letters - numbers too,

And how to cut and paint and glue.

We learned to write and dance and sing,

But playing was our favorite thing.

We loved preschool, it was great,

And now it's time to graduate"

Hoppy Easter

Here we are dying Easter eggs and holding our cute bunny bags - that are filled with easter treats we found. Have a great spring break!

Music

The kids are great musicians. We played our classroom instuments, had a bell orchestra (reading colored notes to make a song) and made our own instruments. The kids could choose drums, tambourines, guitars, harps, maracas, etc. They all chose "stringed" instruments :)

Our Healthy Bodies

We learned all about the parts of our body that are on the inside - heart, lungs, brain, stomach, bones, and muscles.





We also enjoyed playing doctor and nurse and fixing up the dolls, teddy bears, and each other.

Shapes

We did so many fun things with shapes. We made circle shaped bubbles. We built towers with square nesting boxes. We used magnets and marbles to make triangles. We stamped circle shapes with all sorts of circular object. We made shape faces. A few of our adventures are pictured here.

DECEMBER

So sorry I've neglected the blog lately. Life can get soooo busy. We are having a great time in preschool, and I'm loving every minute. We had a great Christmas season. The kids loved making pictures of Santa, decorating the room, preparing presents, and making cone Christmas trees. Hope you all enjoyed your holiday, and I look forward to seeing you all back soon.
