Our PreSchool Blog

The preschool PM and preschool prep classes have been hard at work! We are starting to learn new letters, shapes, numbers, colors and more! We are also learning a lot about our classmates! It’s been a fun first few weeks at Creative Tots!

Fly swatting our numbers and letters!

A is for apple!

Hand painting activity- We learned that we are all different and when we work together we can make something beautiful! We also learned that we can mix colors and create a whole NEW color, and we all thought that was pretty cool! (just check out the smiles on those faces!)

Making friendship cookies!

We learned that even though eggs are different colors, they are the same on the inside, just like us!

We graphed our eye color for our “All About Me” study!

What a great first week of school at Creative Tots!! In the PM Preschool and Preschool Prep classes, we had an ice cream themed week inspired by the book “Should I Share My Ice Cream?” By Mo Willems. The students learned about sharing, while meeting new friends and enjoying some delicious ice cream! What a great start to the year with an even better group of kids!

We started the afternoon with ice cream sensory tubs!

We found our own name tags and made necklaces out of them!

We had our ice cream snack outside in the sun!

We practiced sharing our own ice cream with friends! 

Then we had a dance party!

Our question of the day was a tough one…choosing between chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream.     

Acting out the butterfly life cycle!

April’s theme in Preschool Prep is based around gardening and insects. We have integrated this theme into our daily curriculum and are having so much fun!

Bug Fossils!

Each day this month we have done a “Daily News” segment in the classroom 🙂 We first have someone introduce the news, and then we work together to figure out what month and day of the week it is. Next, we choose a student to be our “weather kid” for the day. This person gets to wear a special badge and report the weather based on what they see outside and how it feels! Lastly, we complete a feelings chart where the students pick a face that mimics how they are feeling that day (all of the children have picked the happy face so far)!

 Alphabet Twister!

We took advantage of our smaller groups today and paired each of our KPrep students up with a Preschool Prep student.  The buddies worked together to build big shapes with smaller shapes over in the Kprep room!  The preschool preppers were so excited to come visit the big room and have a big buddy to get to know.  Then we marched over to the preschool prep room with our buddies and the little guys got to share their favorite centers with the older kids.  We had fun with our buddies today!!

It may not feel like winter outside, but we are bringing winter into the classroom! The Preschool Prep class has been learning a lot and having a blast with these winter themed activities!
