The Early 3’s have been working on recognizing squares this month! Today they used their fine motor skills to stick red glitter squares inside of bigger squares. They worked on counting and one to one correspondence as they counted each square.

We were astounded at the turnout at our art show again this year. The children have been working so hard over the past two months on all of their masterpieces and we were so excited to see all of the families come out and celebrate their accomplishments with them! It’s amazing what children can accomplish when given the opportunity and the right tools. We are so very proud of each and every one of them. It was their night to shine and we were honored to be a part of if. A BIG thank you to Ms. Penny who helped create such wonderful art experiences for our students in the preschool and pre-k classes. Her enthusiasm and excitement for teaching children about art and the famous artists that came before us sparks the imagination of our young students in a way that makes them feel like anything is possible at any age.
We learned last week how some Native Americans, long ago, used to use large tree trunks to carve into boats, called canoes. We also reviewed the symbols that some native americans used to communicate and tell stories. We incorporated some of these symbols onto our own canoes during small groups.
The Early 3’s have been learning to identify the numbers 1-5. They practiced reading numbers written on paper plates and filling the plate with the correct amount of food. This was a great way to practice reading the numbers, counting out the food, and work on one-to-one correspondence all at the same time!
We introduced our shape of the month this morning during small groups. The preschoolers counted the sides of a square and used square sponges to cover their square picture. We played ‘I Spy Squares’ and searched for squares all over our classroom. Play ‘I Spy Squares’ at home with your little one, see how many squares you can discover!
The preschoolers explored the great outdoors today on a nature walk during small groups. We explored and discovered using our senses. Ask your preschooler what special pieces of nature they collected on such a beautiful fall day!
