Trinity Preschool Activities for Thursday, February 9, 2012

Willow Room: T/TH class

We read "The day it rained Hearts" by Felicia Bond

We painted today using heart shape cookie cutters dipped in red and magenta paint. At the easel we had red and blue paint to make purple pictures.

We added items to our purple car of our train.

We sang "Skinnamarink", "Love Grows", and "Stinky cake"

We talked about how red and blue make a new color- purple.
We played the memory game the children love, which color honey pot is the bee hiding behind. The children guess a color and we look to see if the bee is there.

Maple Room:

We read "Never mail an Elephant " by Mike Thaler

We did finger painting with shaving cream and red glitter paint.

The children got to pick the songs today and they chose: "Bear Hunt, Sticky Bubble Gum, Months of the year, November song, December song, and February song.

We played some small group games, Chutes and Ladders and High Ho Cherrio and a number recognition game.

Oak Room:

Goldie Socks and the three "libearians"" by Jackie Mims Hopkins

We did two pages for our number book- we worked on one to one correspondence. The children stamped one dot in each square on the page.

We also did a page on patterning- glued colored dots in a pattern.

We did a color sorting activity.

We also had out a matching game, of upper and lower case letters.

We did "I changed my mind" (a fast and slow dance) and Looby Loo- a rhyming song.

We asked the children if their name has the letter S in it.

We did a number activity- we gave each child a card with a number on it and the children had to line up in the correct numerical order.
