The theme this week was…Transportation! The preschoolers got to learn about what transportation was and how it wasn't just cars and buses! We also wanted to send a special message to our friend Taylin who was really sick this week! For the preschoolers group art, they got to create a stop light and learned how this light helps cars, trucks, bicyclists, and many other vehicles travel on our roads safely. The skill was to tear our paper circles out, instead of cutting. For those who could not quite use their fingers to tear along the line, they were able to simply practice lots of tearing and then glue their pieces together to form their circles. After art, Teacher Travis taught the preschoolers a fun song as well! In the afternoon, the kids got to gather around on the carpet and share their letter bags with the class. It was AWESOME to see what kids were able to find for their letter. We will be decorating our classroom with their uniquely designed letters as well! The most memorable bag sharing response was Daniel's, who had the letter "N." When Mrs. Anne asked "what else is in your bag that starts with N?" Daniel replied, "Nothing!" Everyone had a big laugh..."That's right! 'Nothing' does start with N!" Daily free play consisted of many fun activities! We even got to ride bikes in the hall! We also had our last extra day of preschool for this semester! |
A great activity to do with your preschool for our transportation week could include this fun chart! All you need to do is make a chart that lists different types of transportation and this can go for anything that drives, flies, goes in the water, pretty much anything that counts as transportation! After that you and your preschooler can go on a scavenger hunt around the house to see which items around the house fit into these categories! |
