Trinity Preschool Activities for Monday, March 4, 2013

Willow Room- MWF class

We are learning about nursery rhymes now in class.  Today we learned Jack and Jill.
We have our dramatic corner set up like a pizza shop.  We also read the story "Pete's a pizza" by William Steig

Do you have the letter K in your name?

We painted by tilting a box back and forth with a prickly ball dipped in paint.  It made a nice print on the paper.

We did creative painting at the easel with long brushes.

We did the Jack and Jill song, dancing, and marching around the alphabet.

We did shaving cream and corn starch combined to make a sensory experience of "snow" in our sensory table.

We talked about the letter K and brought in objects that start with the letter K.  We discussed the sound the letter makes, and thought of rhyming words.  We did our nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill.
