What a FUN Wednesday at preschool!
We had a tiny bit of time for free choice, before we headed over to "big kid" chapel for NLSW...
Mr. Marolf reminded us that we are rooted in faith...with a small tug-o-war included!
It was time to see what we remember about positional words! I had 5 cards, each with a different positional word. Friends got to "pick a card, any card". I would read the card aloud and he/she would place his/her body in relation to Leihla!
We LOVE all kinds of sports...
And...being SILLY!!!
We got to dance and tumble in the commons for large motor time...
Today we introduced the letter "D" and number "4"!
We remembered start your letter "at the top" then big line down, big curve to write a "D" and little line down, little line across, and big line down to write a "4"! Then we came up with words that start with "D" and found "4's" around the room!
Anytime one of our friends thinks of a word that starts with "D" we can add it to our big letter. Or, if at home, your child sees a small picture or item that starts with a "D", bring it in and he/she can tape it to our big letter!
Time for small groups (centers)!
With Mrs. Mudd we worked on part 2 of a creation! We each drew our self portrait. Each friend then finished the following 2 statements...
My eyes are ________
My hair is _________
This activity helped improve symbolic development, early writing/drawing, small motor control, and knowledge of self!
Part 1, cutting out snowflakes to add to his/her creation (improving early scissor skills) happened yesterday or earlier in the day!
We took a bit of time today to build boats (out of blocks). We are wondering how different it will be to make them out of aluminum foil next week!
With Mrs. Fahey we expressed creativity and improved small motor control as we decorated our bags for Valentines day!
We improved our early scissor skills cutting out paper hearts. Each paper was folded in half. Each friend had to cut on the line that Mrs. Mudd had previously drawn. Then...unfold the paper, and just like that we made hearts! After cutting out his/her heart, he/she could decorate with markers!
After our hard work during centers...we had fun in the gym! We even made a few baskets...
Whew...it was a whirlwind of a day! We hoped you enjoyed it as much as we did!
