Hello preschool families
Last week the children seemed to enjoy our new topic of trees. Some of their favorite areas were creating a seasonal tree in the art area with Tammy, the sensory table with bird seed and birds/trees, building trees in the block area, and feeding the squirrel game.
HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR WEEK:
This week we will continue learning about trees and start to talk about leaves.
Art with Tammy -
Our art projects will be creating a tree first by painting the tree trunk then by using a cork to dip in paint and stamp to decorate the top as leaves. Also 3D trees using toilet paper tube for the trunk and water color paints to decorate the colorful tops. At the easel we will paint trees. Free art painting with water color paints. Tammy will also play a game of memory with the children.
Work with Darcie -
One of the books we will read this week will be Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. The children will create a Chicka Chicka boom boom tree, the letters going up the tree will be letters in their name, and then count how many letters in their name. We will also classify objects into groups - find all the tools, all the things that fly, all the fruit etc...We will write in our journals, practice writing our names, and much more. On Wednesday I will take the children for a leaf walk looking for leaves - let me know if you would like to join us.
