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!

We read the story “Perfect Square” and used this as the inspiration for our art project this week. In the story, the squares get ripped and torn, but are created into something new and beautiful. We challenged our preschoolers to think outside of the box! They tore apart their squares and put the pieces together to recreate their square into something new as well!
Easter came early this year at Creative Tots! Our Preschool class celebrated by doing Easter themed activities all week!
March is off to a great start! From rainbow art, to counting gold coins.. St. Patrick’s Day lessons are in full swing!
We had a blast this week celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday! Each day we chose one of his books to focus our lessons and snacks around. These books included: Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax, Wacky Wednesday, Hop on Pop, and The Cat in the Hat.

We made our own snack to represent the clover Horton carries!
Tuesday: The Lorax
We planted green bean seeds in our Lorax cups!

The PM Preschool class had fun gearing up for Valentines Day this year! Our lessons were themed specifically for this special holiday!
The kids used their fine motor skills to tear up pieces of paper and glue them into the hearts for this Valentines Day craft, “I love you to pieces”.
Pancakes for snack in our pajamas for letter “P” week! What a fun day!
Making Valentine bracelets and working those fine motor skills!
