On Monday we made a Santa face out of shapes. The kids worked on their counting skills while counting all the circles and triangles. We also played a fun memory game called "What's in Santa's bag." The kids took turns pulling toys out of Santa's bag. Once all the toys were out we each had a turn picking one toy and putting it back in the bag (while the other children's eyes were shut) then the kids opened their eyes and tried to think of what was missing.
On Wednesday we did a lot of counting. We counted many different items in the preschool including, candy canes, gingerbread cookies, and Santa's. The kids also enjoyed listening to the story of the Gingerbread Man.
Friday was very fun! It was our snow day! The room was covered in snowflakes and the kids made their own to take home. They also had a blast playing in snow! They loved watching the powdered snow grow into "real" snow. It was messy but sure fun!
Just a few more days of preschool and then it will be Christmas break!
Merry Christmas Mickey Mouse!
Yes- I love Mickey Mouse, so you can't come to Ms. Ali's Preschool without learning/talking about the most famous mouse in the world. :)
We had a fun time this week playing Mickey Mouse memory, counting the Mickey Mouse pictures in our preschool room, and painting a picture of Mickey Mouse.
Here are some of the kids working on their letter M worksheets.
We have also been working on our Christmas program. The kids have been doing a great job and are working so hard! We are so excited for you all to see it in a few weeks!
This week we talked about BOOKS. Where we can find books (library, store, home) and what kind of books there are (storybooks, fact books and more). The kids enjoy bringing in their favorite book and we read it to the class.
Here is the AM class looking at Boden's book.
The kids also picked out a little paper book that they put together themselves to take home.
On Friday we started our "Mickey Mouse" week (which officially starts next week for letter M). You can't come to Ms. Ali's preschool without talking about Disney and/or Mickey Mouse! :)
The kids went home with a "countdown to Christmas" Christmas tree. Don't forget to put on one circle everyday. :)
