On Monday we had a great time working on our numbers. We played a few different counting games; one game the children had to listen to the raindrops falling and then put that many raindrops on their cloud. We also played a memory match game (always a hit with kids) with fall leaves and their matching number.
Here is a cute video of the some of the kids from the morning class counting their raindrops...
We also talked a little more about the weather and what clothes people wear during the different seasons. The kids each had a turn to pick an item of clothing out of a bag and then we decided what season we would wear it in. We decided that in the summer we could wear shorts, swim suits, flip-flops and tank tops and in the winter we could wear gloves, scarfs, hats and jackets.
On Wednesday we talked about sizes. The kids each picked out a different size ball out of a bag and then we had to put them in order- from largest to smallest. We also had a letter hunt for the letter G. There were all different sized G's all over the preschool room. After all the G's were found, we put them in order- from smallest to biggest.
Since G is the letter this week, we read a Ghost story called "The Teeny Tiny Ghost." It was a silly story about a very small ghost who was scared of Halloween, but after acting brave he realizes that it's not scary.
On Friday we worked on our cutting and gluing skills while making our "FALL" signs. The kids enjoyed coloring the leaves and acorns and making a pattern with the colors of the letters that they glued on.
We also had our very first math lesson. The kids caught on very quick with adding numbers!
Next week we will be getting more into the Halloween theme with pumpkins and such...
I am very excited for the 31st to have our first party of the year! The morning and afternoon classes will be combined for the party. More details will be sent home with your child next week.
Have a wonderful weekend!
