Preschool 10/4

Theme: Fall Is Here!

Letter of the week: C

Number: 4

Color of the month: Orange

Shape of the month: Triangle

Circle Time

Introduced theme of the week and talked about leaves changing colors, falling from the trees, jumping in piles of leaves, what animals start gathering food for the winter, etc.

We sang a song about leaves falling down and we also sang Eensy Weensy Spider & Where is Thumbkin? per Tatum's request.

Centers

This week enjoyed the Concentration game. I know it's pretty advanced for them but they worked hard at getting the right shapes in and then we'd start the timer and wait for them all to pop up.

Dancing to music!

We did some beading, patterns & sorting.

We played a game where 1 person sat in a circle on the floor (I made it with a jump rope). We all counted to 4 and and threw the leaves in the air. The person in the circle had to count how many landed in the circle with them.

They each enjoyed having a turn!

Silly faces!

Snack

Crackers & peanut butter

Art

We did our letter of the week - C is for caterpillar. They glued pom-poms onto the letter C to make a caterpillar and then added some googly eyes. I guess I didn't get a picture of them; some art projects need a lot of guidance and I don't always have the time to snap a picture! This one required lots of gluing so I'm guessing I was busy with overseeing the use of too much glue. ;)

We also did some dot a dot with the letter C & caterpillars. And then we did some practice cutting. Lola loves to cut so she was pretty happy.
