Exercise, Snowmen, Fun Friday Learning Centers, and Christmas Show and Tell

Our focus question this week was what do we know about exercise? Here are our answers:

Charlie - “it helps you be healthy”

Liam - “it helps your muscles be strong”

James - “it helps your body feel better”

Our home living center has been turned into a gym/smoothie bar.

We made free-form snowmen. The children were given a sheet of blue paper and white paint. They were told to paint a snowman body however they wished. When the paint was dry they glued on a construction paper nose and top hat and used a marker to add two eyes.

In our Fun Friday Learning Centers we worked on the following:

Rolled dice, counted dots, and followed a key to draw a snowman;

Recognized numbers in a ten frame and counted out the correct number of marshmallows;

Put correct number of buttons on snowmen;

Matched uppercase, lowercase, and beginning sound to build a snowman; and,

Touched and counted objects and found matching number. Hands on learning is the BEST!

Christmas Show and Tell

Tracy Jones
Pre-K December Activities

The children expressed themselves creatively through the visual arts by painting and decorating their very own Christmas tree.  The early childhood years are very important to children’s realizing their creative potential.


Our focus question this week was how can we make music using our voices?  We decided that it would be fun to carol around the campus.  Everyone had a great time and the middle school students provided treats for us!

Our focus question this week was what instruments can we play by hitting, tapping, or shaking them? Here are our answers:

Charlie - “triangle”

Stella - “rhythm sticks”

James - “symbols”

Emmi Kate - “tambourine”

Our home living center has been turned into a recording studio.

Show & Tell - Letter K

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT - TOYS FOR TOTS

The children had to sort skittles by color on the turkey, count the skittles and then graph the correct number. Their favorite part was eating the skittles at the end.

We created bracelets to help retell the story of the first Thanksgiving.

WHAT ARE WE THANKFUL FOR?
