Trinity Preschool Activities for Wednesday, November 19, 2014

Willow Room:

We read "Thanksgiving FEast" by Quinlin B Lee

We used cookie cutters and paint to make wrapping paper for presents.

We had magnetic 3 D shapes at the easel.

We did a 5 little turkeys sitting on a fence rhyme.

We did "Turkey pokey", "Travelin' Turkeys" and "Over the deep blue sea" for music today.

Maple Room:

We read 5 silly turkeys

We did marble painting at the table with blue and purple paint.

We had water colors at the easel.

We skyped today with someone living in Nairobi,  Africa.  It was exciting to hear about the animals they have there.

Oak Room:
"Many ways" by Shelley Rotner, a book about family traditions and "Thanks for Thanksgiving" by Julie Markes

We read the letter K book.

We played an ABC Bingo game- the kids loved it.

We worked in our journal notebooks on the letter K - we practiced writing it, wrote words that start with the letter K and drew pictures.

We did "The turkey hop", and "Can you dance?" (using just our eyes, nose, lips, etc.)

Stay and Play:  We read "Don't worry Douglas!" by David Melling

We drew with markers on paper towel, coffee filters, and paper.  Then we applied water with a brush over each to see what happened.  We compared the differences in how the water absorbed and the effect of the water on the markers on each type of paper.

We did "You gotta sing" and "Inky Dinky Doo" for music time.
