Today the preschoolers had a very exciting day with a special visitor and celebration. We learned about the act of storytelling and listened to Dancing Moon and her helper, Bright Rainbow, share a story with a very valuable lesson.
The preschoolers enjoyed peeking into the lives of Native American children. We learned all about the importance of corn. The children husked and enjoyed corn on the cob just like Native Americans daily meals. Ask your preschooler the Native American word for corn!
Another chore for Native American children was popping kernels off the ear of corn to grind it into cornmeal for eating and storing.
The preschoolers explored beautiful Native American jewelry and artifacts. Then they got the chance to create their very own necklace with feathers and beads.
Arrowheads, spears, and bow and arrows were big hits this morning. The children loved learning about Native American weapons and materials they used to hunt and feed their families.
We ended our special day with our Painted Pony project. We looked at pictures of Native American celebrations with horses painted with beautiful designs and images. Ask your little one how they painted their pony!
Thank you so much to Mrs. Hern, Ethan’s mom, for visiting our classroom and reading to us!
Today was our first Story Time! The kids were very excited to have Louise & Micaela’s mom, Mrs. Schoeny, join us in our classroom.
Thanks so much for reading to the class!
Mrs. Wishy-Washy has been a big hit in the Early 3s room. Today we made the duck all muddy while practicing our fine motor skills with sponges.
You can listen to Mrs. Wishy-Washy with your child on YouTube!
Reading a story to your preschooler is a great way to excite them about reading. Stories can help teach important lessons and skills while entertaining little ones. In the classroom we have been exploring stories in different ways. We read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to practice our alphabet. Then we watched Chicka Chicka Boom Boom on the ipad.
