Trinity Preschool Activities for Monday, March 14, 2011

We had a special visitor today who talked to the children about saving the earth by Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling Waste. She does a fun workshop and has the children involved hands on. We appreciate SWANK making this workshop available free to local schools and preschools.

Ask your child what they learned today.

Willow Room:

We did the story of humpty dunpty by Thomas Moore, then we did the rhyme using a real egg.....guess what happened. We couldn't put it together again either!

We are talking about the letter M and asked the children "Do you have a letter M in your name?" We did a graphing activity with the results.

We made tissue paper humpty dumpty's. We had painting at the easel.

We played a game called "Pass the (plastic) egg". We pass the egg around the circle to the music and when the music stops we see who is holding the egg.
We also did all of our rhymes we have learned.

Maple Room:

We extended our learning about recycling by reading "Micheal Recycle" by Ellie Bethal

We had painting at the table today.

We had a special guest in our room today and we acted out the story of the 3 little pigs for our guest. They children had so much fun.

We did some letter "U" activities

Oak Room:

We read Froggy's baby sister by Jonathan London

We did a special art project today. We had a big tub with paper in it. We put a ball dipped in paint in the tub and rolled the ball back and forth to make a picture.

We sang 5 green and speckled frogs, come and buy a donut, and 5 little tadpoles.

We are talking about the letter X.
