Trinity Preschool Activities for Wednesday, October 17, 2012

We had a fire drill today.

Willow Room- MWF class

We told the story of "Can you find my breakfast?" A story about a mixed up breakfast.
We asked the children what their favorite farm animal is?

We made animal paw prints for art and we had animal stencils at the easel with markers.

We did the Good day song, When I was a little fish, and Animals on the farm for music time.

We had feeder corn in the sensory table and the children used thier fine motor muscles to pick the kernels off the cobs.
We played with our muddy pigs in the corn starch and water mixture with some brown paint added to look like mud.
We went for a walk around the school to look at the fire trucks and ambulances that were parked there for a training day.  One of the fire fighters came over to talk to us about 911.

We read a book about the letter F. We did a science experiment where you pour tinted water into a bottle, then you pour in dish soap- what happens?  Then you pour in oil- what happens?

We used stencils to make a sand picture. We brushed glue inside the stencil and spread the sand over it all.  The design appeared.
