Week of September 16, 2013

Well it was indeed all about apples last week.  Every craft and snack and activity had to do with apples or fall.  The pictures were fun...some of the best was making the apple exploding sidewalk paint with the after school kids, working with the little friends on using sizzors and glue, as well as just being outside in the glorious weather. 

More fall to come...

Preschool Pals Week of 9/23

Last week was a great success! The kids made some amazing apple artwork. They used apples as paintbrushes, made little apple trees, and practice their cutting skills while making their letter A apples. We used apple counting sheets and played Hi-Ho Cherrio so the kids could further develop their counting abilities. For the kids who came on Friday, we were able to make it out to Thatcher Woods to observe the changes in nature, as well as take in the wildlife by the river and Trailside Museum. All and all, it was a lot of fun. This week our activities will focus around our letter and number for the week, which are the letter B and the number 3. Going along with the number 3, our shape for the week is the triangle. One of our crafts will be an adorable picture of a fish made entirely of triangles (and one circle for the eye). The other crafts we have planned are based off of our selected readings for the week, which include: The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? We will continue to build upon our knowledge of the weather and the calendar during our circle time, as well as expand our musical library of songs we all enjoy to sing together. Happy Fall to All!
