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!
In preschool we continue to enjoy working our way through the alphabet. For the letter Ee we made Elmer the Elephant, and played Eye Spy. What fun!
From rainbows to pot’s of gold, the PM preschool class fully embraced the St. Patrick’s Day theme this past week!
We made our own rainbow snacks!
We went on a gold hunt and matched uppercase/ lowercase letters!
We participated in a letter identification and hand strength activity by feeding our “tennis ball people” gold coins and naming the letters on each coin. We love to incorporate multiple objectives into one lesson!
Another multiple objective lesson: counting and fine motor!
We played “roll, count and graph” using rainbow jelly beans!
S is for skittles!
Each month, the afternoon preschool class focuses on a specific habitat for their science unit. February we learned about the African Savannah! While we learned about many animals, we had a whole day dedicated to the giraffe!
We started with an art craft- giraffe hats!
For literacy, we got our bodies moving with a Giraffe Letter Recognition Hop!
For Music and movement/ indoor recess, the kids participated in some African Animal Yoga!
We learned that the giraffe has a purple tongue! We tried to make our tongues purple by eating some purple candies!
African animal water play was out for the children during our independent center time.
We strengthened our hands and fine motor skills by making giraffe colored bracelets, cutting play dough and painting with Q-tips!
For math, we measured all different sizes of toy giraffes with unifix cubes
Along with our winter themed activities, we are learning about “responsibility”. To help teach this, the students each have a classroom job they are responsible for weekly! They have really taken ownership of these responsibilities. We are promoting independence and autonomy in the classroom!
Cutting icicles (we brought a real one in from outside to observe and touch)!
With all of the snow and cold weather we received this week, we could not go outside for recess…this meant we had to bring some snow inside! We painted snow, and made “Mr. Potato Head” snow people!
We had to get some wiggles out with some parachute fun!
