Trinity Preschool Activities for Friday, February 3, 2012

Stay & Play:

We read "Stuck in the mud" by Jane Clarke

We used special stampers that fit on our fingers and dipped them in finger paint.

We did "Late last night", Sunshine song, and Looby Loo" for music today.

We played Bingo in small groups, and we did a Carl the clown color rhyme.

Willow Room: MWF class

We looked at objects that start with the letter F

We read "One winter's day" by M Christina Butler

We played a snowman game- (learning about size)

We did animal foot prints (for the letter F) on a big sheet of paper- a group project.

We sang "five green and speckled frogs", "Love grows by 1" and "skinnamarink"

We are enjoying our post office in the dramatic corner.

We have ground up corn cobs in our sensory table and today we had a cover with holes cut in it over the table, so we could reach through the top.

Maple Room:

We read "Tortoise brings the mail" by Dee Lillegard

We did a great project using negative space. We put a heart shape cut out on the paper and did dab a dot painters all over, then we removed the heart and had the shape appear! Plus, the heart we removed had the paint on it too.

We had heart shapes with tissue and glue at the easel.

We sang The February song, Down around the corner at the mailbox, Dog in school, Little Fish, and Jump up turn around.

We did letter N activities on our dry erase boards.

Oak Room:

We had our pajama day today! We came to school in our pajamas.

When the children arrived two of the teachers were still asleep! The children were not sure what to do, so they tip toed quietly around so as not to wake the teachers! After a few minutes, I decided they needed to wake up, so the kids woke them! We did fun, special activities all day.

We read "A pocket for corduroy" by Don Freeman

We cut out an overall shape to make corduroy bear.

We had an opposites puzzle, and animal sorting trays out today.

We asked what starts with the letter R?

For our special sleepover party, we watched a DVD of Corduroy the bear.
