We used our favorite scents of fall mixed into our paint to practice our sight words!
5 Little Pumpkins !
Fine Motor Spider Web and Formation of Letter F
We have been exploring our senses in preschool prep! This lesson was specifically for our sense of smell. The students were able to smell a variety of scents. They had to do their best to guess what it could be before the answer was revealed!
What a fun literacy day we had with our “Big Pumpkin” book!
First, we read the story and reenacted it using picture cards. We then were able to open up a real pumpkin and explore what was inside. Following the pumpkin exploration, we did a pumpkin art project and had a pumpkin snack!
This week we learned all about the Pond Animal the Frog! It just so happened we also were learning all about the letter F!
We stamped the letter F frogs.
Frogs go through a life cycle. They start as eggs, then hatch into tadpoles and then they grow front legs and become froglets before losing their tail and becoming adult frogs.
We learned that frogs use their tongue to catch bugs and we pretended to be frogs and “caught” some flies.
Frogs can jump on average about 7 feet. We took turns jumping like frogs to see if we could go father. We all got pretty close, but none of us could jump farther than a frog!
We matched upper and lowercase letter frogs.
We reviewed our letters and numbers by hopping like frogs onto lily pads.
We fed our frogs insects while working our hand strength and fine motor skills.
Our math goal this month is SORTING! We have been sorting lots of things and this week we practiced sorting fruit loops by color! We had a lot of fun with this activity and learned all about finding the difference in a group of objects!
