Trinity Preschool Activities for Monday, December 5, 2011

We played in the gym today.

Stay & Play:
we read "Only one neighborhood" by Marc Harshman and Barbara Garrison

We used funny mitts on our hands that had yarn and other materials on them for texture to paint pictures today. We sang
Hi, My name is Joe, and Get ready, Get set, Let's dance for music today.

Willow Room

We read "Mooseltoe" by Margie Palatini

We pained with glitter paint and regular paint using cookie cutters as our stamper to make a holiday picture. We had stencils and glitter paint at the easels.

We are practicing our holiday songs.

Maple Room:

We read "The gingerbread Man" by Karen Schmidt

We made gingerbread people and a special large gingerbread man out of cinnamon and applesauce. We had ginger bread shapes at the easel.

We had 10 paper gingerbread men that we hid around the room and had fun finding them all.

We also went to the oven to get our large gingerbread man out and he was gone! We had to follow clues all around the building- to search for him and finally found him back in our room! The children found this so exciting!

We are learning about the letter H this week.

Oak Room:

We read Arthur's Christmas by Marc Brown

and Ten Naughty Little Monkeys by Suzanne Williams

We worked on our ornaments to hang on our bulletin board. They are fun foam snowman shapes, and we added hats, pom poms for buttons, scarves, glitter glue with sequins and we added the children's picture as the snowman's face.

We measured out dinosaur to see if it got bigger- it did!

We are learning about the letter "L".
