  • Preschool Prep March Activities

    During the month of March we studied the weather and rainbows. We talked about how clouds are formed and did a science experiment to learn how rain falls from the clouds. Then we did a rainy day art project and talked about what we liked to do on rainy days. A lot of our little learners said they liked to jump in puddles. We did a pretend puddle jump and jumped on puddles with different letters on them!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    For St. Patty’s Day activities we talked about rainbows and the order of the colors of the rainbow. We also did a shamrock letter match. The students used stickers with letters on them and matched them to stickers on their shamrock.

  • Colors of the Rainbow

    March was not only about the color green, but we also studied the rainbow! We talked about how a rainbow is made and which colors make up the rainbow. Below you can see all of the rainbow color sorting we did! Sorting by color is a skill we incorporate a lot with our toddler learners. It practices color recognition and matching.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Some of the toys in our centers and sensory bins were also rainbow-themed. We love to see them learning through play!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Of course we had to do some rainbow art projects. We read the book “What Makes a Rainbow” by Betty Schwartz and then made our own rainbow using ribbon and a fluffy cloud. This was a challenging art project for our little learners and they did an excellent job with it!

  • Green St. Patrick’s Day

    Our focus on the color green and St. Patrick’s Day combined to make a fun March!  The toddlers were immersed with green manipulatives, green play dough, green sensory bins, green snacks, and green crafts. After reading Little Blue and Little Yellow -we discovered that green is created from mixing blue and yellow. The leprechaun hid gold coins which the toddlers traded in for a rainbow snack.  We also created a green wand in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
