Our PreSchool Blog

Each month the toddlers focus on one shape.  We immerse ourselves in the shape using all of our senses to reinforce learning.  In September we used our circle shape to create crafts, play large motor games, practiced our fine motor skills, and sang circle songs!

We combined our theme and shape to create a circle “I am special” mirror.

A little sneak peak of our culminating art projects for the end of the year.

The toddlers do one project a month – we will send them home in May!

We also combined our favorite foods theme with a circle craft after reading

the favorite story If You Give a Pig Pancake by Laura Numeroff.

The month of September has been a study in the shape CIRCLE!  We have colored circles, matched circles, glued circles, played with circle toys, discussed our favorite circle shaped food, sang circle songs, read circle stories, eaten circle crackers and cookies…basically immersed ourselves in circles!

Today we practiced numbers 1,2, and 3!

Ms. Katy lead a Number Hunt on our Smartboard in search for all the number 1’s. The preschoolers strengthened their fine motor muscles and practiced drawing circles during their hunt.

We worked with 1, 2, and 3 while practicing Slap-a-Number from our homework folder activities.

We ended our day of number fun by watching “10 Little Numbers.” The preschoolers LOVE watching videos on the Smartboard and these songs are a great way to help your little one learn letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. They are fun, educational, and easy to search on YouTube!

Today we used our Smartboard have fun and recognize our names. We reinforced our shape of the month and practiced drawing circles. The Smartboard is a great for fine motor muscles and hand eye coordination as well!
