This week was a ton of fun. Tuesday started with the kids making Name Cards for each of their family members. They traced each name and then decorated the cards to place at their tables.
That activity was followed with an orderliness relay and the kids organized different items as fast as they could.
We also worked on our family trees on Tuesday. We talked about family members that could be in our families today such as Mom, Dad, Brothers and Sisters and then worked out to cousins, aunts, uncles and maybe those who have passed such as great grandma's and grandpa's. The kids named as many as they knew and then took home more leaves to add to their trees as they learned about more people in their families.
After talking about their families, they got a chance to make their family out of clay.
Although the clay was difficult to mold, it did not stop the kids and the activity was a HUGE hit!
Today was a blast!
We began preschool by reading, "The little old lady who wasn't afraid of anything" this book is always a hit and makes the kids laugh.
After reading, 2 kids worked on creating letters out of wood pieces as I worked with 1 child to write in their journal a Halloween story based on a Halloween sticker of their choice.
This was the BEST WRITING ACTIVITY EVER! The kids absolutely LOVED telling their story and talked so fast I could barely keep up! It was the most any of them have talked for a journal/ story entry.
After writing, we did some ABC - PE
The kids got to help me come up with different movements based on a letter such as "move like an Airplane" for A and others such as C - "creepy crawlers" D - dog and H - horses.
In math we worked with 1-1 correspondence again today using monsters and monster eyes.
For art we did Apple Roll Painting which turned out amazing and so much fun!
