Our PreSchool Blog

Our little learners reviewed all of the shapes they’ve learned throughout the year with some hands on shape activities. One was finding the bug hiding under the shapes. They had to pick the shape I asked them to find and see if the bug was hiding underneath it! They also matched shapes to the underwater animal puzzles. We finished off with a shape collage. We glued each shape one by one as a group.

We finished off our alphabet with some letter Z activities. Zoo is for Zoo animals–washing zoo animals! We also did a Z is for Zipper activity. Each student picked a pouch with a zipper and found what was inside and then sorted the surprise inside by color!

A review of the colors we have learned about this year led to a chart of our favorite colors.  We then had a yummy review of colors and sorting using Fruit Loops.  After sorting the cereal by color – the reward was a colorful snack!

A review of shapes led to a shape collage.  We will laminate these for the toddlers to take home over the summer.  Keep in the car or take to restaurants to review shapes while waiting for a table.

During small groups, we matched up foam numbers to the outline.  Physically holding the shape of the number sometimes helps with recognition in the future.  We also practiced counting every time we placed a number on the line.
