Trinity Preschool Activities for Tuesday, March 13, 2013

Willow Room: Terrific 2's and 3's class

Our color this week is white.  We read "It looked like spilt milk" by Charles Shaw
We asked the children "Are you wearing white today?" and "Can you think of something that is the color white?"

We used Q-tips and small foam sponges and white paint to make our own spilt milk pictures.  Then we added white glitter to our pictures.  We asked the children "Based on the story "It looked like spilt milk, but it wasn't spilt milk ....it was...." we asked the children  What do you think it looks like?" and wrote their answers down on the pictures.  

We did "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, Jack and Jill, Bean Bag Pretend, and we used rhythm sticks to the song, "I can hammer".


Oak Room- Pre-k class

We are finishing up our unit on space and the planets this week.  The children have a space facts book that is going home.  

Today we read "Moon Rabbit" by Natalie Russell and "Minnie and Moo go to the moon" by Dennis Caset.

We colored the pages in our planets book.

We did 5 little astronauts floating in space, stick to the glue and we played a rocket ship color guessing game. 
Andy the astronaut hides behind one of the colors of space ships and the children take turns guessing which color space ship he is hiding behind.  This is a favorite game at our school and we change it up to fit various themes.  You can also have numbers on the space ships, or a shape or an alphabet letter.

We did the mystery bag with the letter X today.

Space bulletin board, and other space Our attendance chaideas pre-k class

Our attendance chart where the children add the astronaut to the rocket ship when they come into class.

We blast off to the moon

Simple game made with a space theme. 

We dipped star shape cookie cutters into glue and sprinkled glitter on top of the glue.  

We learned about constellations and then the children added star stickers to black paper to create their own constellations.  Hard to see in the picture, we used a yellow pencil to outline it. Then the children told us what they thought it looked like.
