Trinity Preschool Activities for Wednesday, November 12, 2014

Willow Room:

We had storytime from one of the librarians at the Mount Prospect library today.

We glued feathers on a turkey shape paper.

We painted leaf stencils with roller brushes at the easel.

We talked about animals in the winter and how they hunt for food.  We hid paper nuts around the room and went on a hunt for Mr. Squirrel to help him find the nuts.

We did "Rhythm in my fingers", "Animals Exercising" and "Tap your toe and follow me" for music today.

Maple Room:

We read "One is a feast for a mouse" by Judy Cox

We did spool painting, using thread spool ends dipped in paint.  We made headbands for our Thanksgiving feast.

We had turkey shapes and glue with feathers at the easel.

We had the librarian visit us today and do a special story time.

We did "The November song", "Bean Bag Boogie", "Put that bean bag", and "If you are thankful" for music time.

Oak Room:

We read "The mixed up Chameleon" by Eric Carle

The children glued a chameleon shape to paper and then painted over it so it blended in with the background.

We did "Turkey feathers" and we acted out a variation of Brown Bear, Brown bear with our pictures and names.  We also did "Autumn colors" for music time today.

Stay and Play:

We read "The big wolf and little wolf- the little leaf that would not fall" by Nadine Brum- Cosme

We painted with a mixture of shaving cream and glue

We did "Musical spots"  when the music stops, you find a spot and put a body part on it that is called out ( like elbow, foot, knee, etc.) We  also played a magic hats game.  Which color disappeared?
