All About Me Week, P.E., And Block Bodies & Shoe Measurement

The goal behind an All About Me week is to help children learn about each other and each others’ families.  It helps children to realize that every person is unique and special.   They also learn that every child’s thoughts and ideas are important and no one person is more or less important than another.  

We are fortunate at St. James to be able to attend P.E. every day.  Thursdays are station days where a different skill will be taught and practiced.  This week they worked on galloping and tossing an object into a hula hoop.  

In preschool we introduce units of measurement that children can really wrap their minds around.  Usually those are with regular household objects and toys.  In these activities children delve in deeper to understand measurement of length and height with blocks and cubes!
