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.

Do you know the muffin man?  We baked up a storm during the cooking summer playdate this week.  We all worked together to make blueberry muffins on Monday.

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie…   We used the big mixer to make chocolate chip cookies from scratch on Tuesday.  The toddlers had one for snack and one to take home!  We also watched the mouse jump on the parachute!

We had mini donuts on Wednesday after reading If You Give A Dog a Donut!  We also worked on a donut craft and Kona Ice outside!

Pancakes on Thursday!  Each child got to choose a color and help flip the pancake!  Yummy snack!

We also worked on cupcake crafts, played in discovery bins, had fun outside, and enjoyed music time with Ms. Joanie.  A fun week!

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!

Building letters with candy hearts (yes we were able to eat a few)!

Valentines Day “sense of hearing” lesson. The children closed their eyes and shook one egg at a time. They had to make their best predictions of what was inside!

Math and fine motor collide in the next number ordering activity!

P is a fun letter to study.  We had pajama days, ate pancakes, played in the pink sensory tub,

and created a pig out of the letter P.  

We read the book Curious George makes Pancakes outside today.  George was a great pancake maker and an excellent flipper!  We used put our hand/eye coordination to work today to work on our own flipping skills!
