Little Adventures Preschool 2020-21

 We've had a fun couple of weeks!  Here's a look at what we've been doing. Valentines Day Activities The kids decorated foam hearts. They decorated posterboard hearts with tissue paper squares. They made their own craft inventions with Valentines odds and ends. The kids decorated sugar cookies, decorated boxes to hold valentines, and exchanged valentines. Bubbles Activities The kids played with bubbles and all kinds of bubble makers outside. Literacy Activities We read Snowmen at Christmas, Love Monster, and Fly Guy Meets Fly Girl.  We've been working on sight words again.  We've introduced some new words and are reviewing them every day and playing a game with them next week. They played with alphabet robots. We watched Letter Factory while they ate their snack. Math Activities We talked about patterns and odds and evens with our calendar.  Also they love to take turns counting with the calendar. We played a jeopardy style game called Are You Ready For Kinderga...

 Isn't it nice to finally be on a normal schedule?! At least for now.  We had a fun week doing winter and snow themed activities. This week we will start on bubble activities and Valentines activities. Winter activities The kids painted canvases to look like snowstorms. Literacy activities The kids built CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant).  They can do this on the side that gives them all three letters, or on the other side that is harder and has missing letters. The kids did foam letter puzzles. Math activities The kids have been counting a lot using the calendar. Fine Motor Skills activities The kids colored flowers made of special paper, then sprayed them with water to make the colors blend together. I gave the kids each a little notebook to write and draw in. Free time activities The kids have had a lot of fun building things lately.  The obsession with magnet blocks, forts, and marble runs continues!
