Trinity Preschool Activities for Wednesday, February 20, 2013

Willow Room- MWF class

We read "Missing Mittens" by Stuart J Murphy

We placed a mitten shape inside a large empty pretzel container and added marbles that had been dipped in paint.  We rolled the container around and the marbles painted the paper.

We had cat shapes at the easel and we painted them with primary colors (red, yellow, blue)

We worked together to come up with H words for our alphabet chart.

We did the rhyme, kittens who lost their mittens.

Maple Room- Morning class

We read "Alphabet under construction" by Denise Fleming

We made letter collages, we glued letters to the first letter of our name.  WE had alphabet stampers at the easel.

We did letter R activities.
We did the February song, the Freeze dance, Two little blackbirds, and the Pirate song for music today.

Maple Room- afternoon class

We read Llama, Llama Mad at Mama by Anna Dewdney

We are working on the letter H, writing it and drawing something that starts with the letter H in our alphabet books.  We had watercolors at the easel.

We did Letter on the bus, ABC bean bag song,  Miss Mary Mack and Play the band for music today.

We did the H book, H monster box, H game, and ABC sound game and The letter on the bus today.

Oak Room:

We read "Magic School Bus and the Solar System" by Joanne Cole

We worked in our journals on drawing and writing something about the letter U.

We did Today is Monday, Miss Mary Mack, the Pirate song, letter sounds, and Bean Bag Alphabet rag for music time.

We did the mystery box with things that begin with the letter U.

We read an estimating jar today with crayons, but first we read a book about estimating so the children would understand how to estimate something and why we do it.

We looked at our science experiment from yesterday.  Yesterday, we took 3 cups and put colored water in two of them.  In one, we put yellow food color, and in the other we put blue food color.  The third cup stayed empty.  We a folded paper towel from the yellow cup to the empty middle cup and another one from the blue cup to the empty cup.  Then we waited.  Today, the one paper towel was yellow, the other one was blue and each had wicked color to the middle cup which now was also containing water which was now green.  I will post this later again with pictures.

Stay & Play:

We read "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss (we had scrambled eggs to eat today)
We did twist painting. We dripped paint on paper with an eye dropper and used a plastic disc with a handle to twist and blend the colors.

We did finger rhymes, The body part game, and little bunny foo foo for music time today.

We have a space station set up in our classroom and the children had fun with it.
