Trinity Preschool Activities for Wednesday, September 21, 2011

We played outside on the playground today.

Willow Room- MWF class

Our question today that we graphed the answers and talked about the results was:
Do you have a hat?
We talked about the weather, days of the week and some beginning calendar activities.

We used a hand puppet for the rhyme "5 little monkeys jumping on the bed"

We crumpled aluminum foil and dipped it into paint to make foil prints on black paper.
We had dab a dot painters at the easel.

We sang the alphabet sounds song using picture cards and "I like my hat" by Carole Peterson

The children enjoyed using small colored blocks to make great buildings.

While we were on the playground today a fire truck stopped nearby, so we were excited to see it.

Maple Room:

"Ten Apples up on Top" by Theo Lesieg was our story today.

We made apple sun catchers- we used glitter glue w tissue paper pieces on wax paper, we will put them in an apple cut out shape.

We had apple shapes and red, green and yellow paint at the easel.

We played a dice and apple game today. The children rolled the dice and put that number of apples on top of a head. We also used bean bags on our heads to represent the apples and saw how many we could stack on our heads.

We read "I am an apple book"

We sang "The September song, A-P-P-L-E , Bean Bag Boogie, and Today is Monday.

Oak Room:

We are talking about feelings in our All about me unit. We read "When I'm scared", "When I'm feeling Happy", "When I'm feeling angry"

For our attendance today, we did "How are you feeling today?" and the children put their name under the emotion they were feeling.

We wrote in our journals today, the letter "B" and they drew a picture of a word that starts with the letter B.

We had out puzzles, an oreo cookie shape matching game, Alphabet sequencing puzzles.

We did an activity about feelings where each child had a picture with a happy face and a sad face. We asked a question and they held up the face to represent their feelings, "How would you feel if....."
We sang " I'm so mad" by Jim Gill and "Your face will surely show it" by Jim Gill

We did an experiment today using milk and food color, look at Thursday's BLOG for details.
