Last week in Preschool we had a wonderful time learning all about rainbows! We learned the color words and the order of colors – and we talked about our favorite colors. We also had lots of practice creating our own rainbows! 🌈

The afternoon preschool is under construction! The children are very busy building and constructing in our block center. It is so wonderful seeing them working together and using their imagination each and every day!
In both the morning and afternoon preschool we celebrated Thanksgiving with a feast. The children helped prepare food, we talked about what we are thankful for, and we all sat down for a feast together. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
In Preschool we work on our names throughout the year. At the beginning of the school year we work on recognizing our names. After we recognize our name, we learn the letters used to build our name. Currently, we are learning how to form the letters in our name. We will continue to work hard until we can write our names on our own.

On Wednesday, our local firefighters came to visit our school and teach us about fire safety. We were able to see how a firefighter looks wearing all their gear, and the tools they use to put fires out. We were also able to give the fire department a special treat to thank them for all they do to keep us safe!
We have been learning about the square for our shape this month. We try to incorporate the shape into our centers, with a craft, and with hands-on activities. This helps reiterate the shape in different capacities. For example, our little learners can learn through hands on manipulation of the shape, as well as learning to sight the shape by finding different items throughout our classroom that are square.
Going along with our monster theme, we invited the toddlers to create monsters by having monster bodies behind contact paper, and then sitting out monster eyes, mouths, horns, arms, etcetera for them to create their own monster. It is an activity to help foster their creativity and imaginations in open-ended ways. It is also good fine motor practice, with the toddlers having to peel the pieces back off of the contact paper. Check out some of our students creating below:
Head to the dino washing station to scrub some dinosaur scales! We had fun in our discovery bins washing the dinosaurs. We use our discovery bins to provide different sensory experiences for our little learners to explore.
We also sorted dinosaurs by color, matching the color of the dinosaur to the bowl.
