In the PM Preschool and Preschool Prep classes, we have been planning our days around a children’s book and integrating other curriculum objectives into that theme.
For example, we read Pete The Cat as a class and the kids were able to snack on some of the different foods Pete steps in to help retell the story (strawberries, blueberries, chocolate- in place of mud, and water). To incorporate letter recognition, we had the children feed letters to our Pete The Cat Character Box. If it was not a letter we had learned yet, the children would say “goodness no!”- just like in the story. To continue with this theme, we had a question of the day for the children: “What color would you turn your shoes? What would you need to step in to turn them this color?”
We were able to integrate literacy, letter recognition, sense of taste, color recognition, and story retelling!
We have been working on developing our fine motor skills. These skills are very important for young children as they begin their journey in writing. We have been putting an emphasis on fine motor lately to ensure that each child is able to hold a pencil correctly, write their letters, cut, before they enter their preschool and k prep year.
We are working on the number ten this month, so we practiced hole punching ten holes on a card.
We practiced forming the first letter in our names with paint and Q-tips.
Growing our own bean seeds for our garden unit this month!
We used tongs to pick up seeds and buttons and place them in the separate compartments of an ice tray.
For Easter we worked on color sorting jelly beans into the correct colored easter egg.
We worked on our fine motor skills and used tongs to move pom poms into each egg in the carton.
