Trinity Preschool Activities for Monday, April 29, 2013

Willow Room- MWF class

We read "The very hungry caterpillar" by Eric Carle

We asked the children "Do you have the letter U in your name?"

We painted by blowing into a cup of paint through a straw to make bubbles.  Then we took a piece of paper and put it gently on top of the bubbles.  It left a bubble shape print on the paper.

We practiced our songs for Mother's Day.

We looked at objects that start with the letter U and talked about the sound it makes.  Our dramatic play area is a flower shop.

Our seeds have grown into plants!

Maple Room: Morning class

We had camp day today.  We had a pretend fire in the room and we sat around it for our circle time and stories.
We had a tent and flashlights and we wore camping clothes for our "hike" and "Bug hunt".

We did "Going on a bear hunt" for music time.  We ate a special snack with teddy grahams and bananas.

We made fire fly bug jars for art and had bugs in grass at the easel.

We had water in the sensory table with glo bracelets. We had a camp site set up for our dramatic play area.

We read "Goodnight, sleep tight, Don't let the bed bugs bite" by Diane De Groat for our story.
The children wrote a story about their camping day.
Camp Trinity:
"Once upon a time there was a class that went camping.  They had dinner. Then they got lost. They went home to sleep.  Then they ate their lunch.  They saw 100 ghosts and were frightened.  They heard a bum and a thump and then there was a big scary ogre.  Then they brushed their teeth.  And then they went to sleep.  They ate dinner.  Then they roasted marshmallows.  Then tey saw a fairy. Then they went to a place they go to school.  They saw a lot of cats and they brought them home.  They saw a bunch of dogs and they brought them home.  Then their flashlights stopped working. So they sat near the fire."
