Trinity Preschool Activities for Monday, September 30 2013

Oak Room- Pre-k class 5 day

We did a flannel board story about an apple.  The apple has a star inside that holds the seeds that you can see when you cut it crosswise.  Try it yourself.

We made applesauce, we cut apples into pieces and enjoyed using our sense of smell to enjoy the aroma.

We had apple stencils at the easel.

We did our letter D chart.  We also made a graph of the apples we brought in and talked about the results.  We discussed what we can do with apples and made a written list.

We did "A-P-P-L-E", "the pirate song", and "way up high in the apple tree" for music today.

Maple Room-  day class

We read "A new house for mouse" by Petr Horacek

We did marble painting with red and yellow paint.

We had foam paint rollers at the easel.

We did "Hands are for clapping" and the "September song" for music.

We talked about the seasons,  we read the book "Through the seasons" ( a knowledge quest book- for common core knowledge)

Willow Room: MWF class

We did the story about the apple with the star inside.  (See Oak room today)

We used real apples which we cut in half crosswise to reveal the star inside and we dipped them in paint to make apple prints.  

We had colored tongue depressors with magnets on them at the easel, the childrne used them to create designs. 

We did a cute Mr. Apple worm rhyme, we did Walking shoes, and Pass the bean bag for music time. 

We have our farm set up in the dramatic corner and we have hay in the sensory table. 

Stay & Play:

We read "The best gift of all" by Jonathan Emmett

We painted on plexiglass circles and then made prints of the painting.  We overlapped them too.

We did "Down by the apple orchard" , "Pass the apple" (like hot potato), "sticky bubble gum", and some bean bag songs, for music time.
