Welcome to our first blog post, showcasing the first week of our new year together! I can't wait for you to see all of the amazing things your preschoolers were up to this last week. As we focused on reviewing our colors and shapes, we did many table activities, played lots of games, and spent a lot of time in the classroom centers getting to know each other and building relationships. What a great week! Group Activities!This week, as we started our preschool adventure, the preschoolers took a tour of the classroom and explored all of the centers. We also learned about rules and jobs in our new class. It was a lot to take in for one day, and it will probably take a few weeks to really settle into the rhythm of things. As we went over colors and shapes this week, we used their knowledge to play a fun group game of red rover! The preschoolers were each given a shape of varying colors. When their shape or color was called they had to do a movement activity to the other side of the hall. These included running, hopping on one foot, skipping, galloping, bear walking and even crab crawling! So much fun! Table Activities!At both of our free play sessions, our tables were open with many colors and shapes inspired activities. At the creation table, the preschoolers decorated glue bottles, practiced cutting, and made many bracelets and necklaces. At our art table, we mixed colors, stamped with different shaped objects, created our own shapes pizza and wove colored yarn around a triangle shaped stick frame! For science, we sorted colors using tongs and used a salad spinner to make swirling color designs. We also enjoyed a snack and the company of friends at our snack table! Other Centers!During our other centers we played house, cooked in the kitchen, dressed up, and even had some builders fixing the house! These activities involved a lot of role play, compromise, sharing, and cooperation. Just for Fun Gallery!!
