We’ve been talking all about trees this month! The Early 3’s got to take a closer look at the parts of a tree on Friday. We talked about the bark, leaves, trunk, and branches. The children talked about how each part felt, what it looked like, and how it smelled.
The preschoolers practiced their handwriting skills while reviewing all the letters we have learned this school year.
We practiced our fine motor skills today while helping the pilgrims get to the Mayflower. Crayon grip has really improved in the preschool room! Thanks for all your help at home. We followed the lines and strengthened our finger muscles.
Thank you so much to Mrs. Hern, Ethan’s mom, for visiting our classroom and reading to us!
One to one correspondence is a skill that serves as foundation for many math skills. Counting and number recognition are worked on daily in the preschool room. The children practiced counting dots on a die and counting leaves individually to fill their tree.
Throughout the month of November, the Toddlers will be exploring the theme of nature. To go along with this theme, the centers around the room have been modified. There are lincoln logs and woodland animals in the block center, safari jeeps and buggies in the transportation center, and new puzzles and games in the manipulatives center. Today the boys and girls jumped right in and explored the new room!
All month long the preschoolers will be working on sorting. Introduction to simple classifying and sorting builds a foundation for math skills. We had fun separating the beans by color today.
