  • Insect Adventures in Preschool

    Spring has arrived, and we have started learning about bugs and plant life! We read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and retold the story with pictures cards.  We then acted out the butterfly life cycle!

    Butterfly Life Cycle Part 1: The mama butterfly lays her egg on a leaf.

    Butterfly Life Cycle Part 2: A caterpillar emerges from the egg and is out searching for food.

    Butterfly Life Cycle Part 3: The caterpillar wraps itself in a cocoon or chrysalis.

    Butterfly Life Cycle Part 4: After a couple weeks, the caterpillar breaks from the cocoon and….

    …turns into a beautiful butterfly!

  • Hands on, Interactive Learning at Creative Tots

    We had a blast with our November farm theme in Preschool/Preschool Prep! Below the students are washing the “mud” (brown paint) off of the pigs to reveal a letter to identify!

    The Preschool class acted out the story “I Spy on the Farm”. It was a fun and interactive way to retell the story step by step.

    After reading “Chicka Chika Boom Boom”, we collected leaves outside that had letters on them and we created our own fall version of the alphabet tree!

    Practicing our cutting skills by giving the trolls a haircut!

    Matching letters to the correct beginning sounds

    Measuring with nonstandard objects

    Fine motor fun!

    Counting our way through Preschool!

  • We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!

    We went on a bear hunt in the PM Preschool and Preschool Prep classes! We read the story, “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” and reenacted it by going on our own classroom bear hunt!

    Through the grass “swishy swashy, swishy swashy”

    Through the water “splish splosh, splish splosh”

    Through the mud “squelch squerch, squelch squerch”

    Through the forest “stumble trip, stumble trip”

    Through the snow storm “hooo wooo”

    Through the cave “tip toe, tip toe”

    We ended the day with a bear “hunt and color” sort!
