Group Activities!This week we learned about ponds and frogs! As a class, we did a counting activity where the preschoolers had to count and match numbers, and then sequence them in order. We also assembled and painted a beaver! Everyone's beaver looked a little bit different - it was so fun! We used some of our extra time to play a very fun game of duck duck goose in the hallway! Table Activities!At the science table the preschoolers learned about the life cycle of a frog and what they look like during each part! They went fishing in a tank with fishing poles (rulers and paperclips) and then sorted their fish by color. There was a counting activity where you had to line up the turtles or frogs on a log in the correct numerical order. One of our teachers even visited a local pond to borrow some REAL pond water!! We scooped it out into little dishes to examine it closer. Pond water has all sorts of tiny, fascinating things in it! At the art table we made a frog with a party blower red tongue! Using a paper plate, green and red paper, and eyes the preschoolers assembled their frogs and then had a blast playing with them! They also made a frog puppet using a paper bag and folded springing tongues, as well as a 3D pond sculpture, butterflies, and a finger painted lily pad! Our language table had a big bucket of floating lily pads where the preschoolers had to match upper and lowercase letters by putting the right frogs on their lily pads! We also had alphabet beginning sounds and identification practice with a "parts of a frog" activity. Other Centers!The preschoolers love to build and create different things using a variety of things they can find! It is so fun to see what they can work together to make! Rainy Day Activity!Lily Pads!
To make a lily pad you need green paper or a paper plate and green paint trimmed into the shape as the leafy floating plant! To make the flower cut lines on the edge of colored tissue paper, construction paper or a cupcake paper lining and attach it to the leaf!
