Miss Amy and Miss Courtney's Preschool Class
This Week
Monday we created cherry blossom trees using a brown crayon and actual flowers off the cherry blossom tree. We played with different kinds of doll houses and people during choice time. The boys REALLY loved building different types of towers and ramps using the block center. It was so cool to see the different items they used from the classroom to make it bigger and more detailed! They were working together and making plans. We played on the playground and read The Grouchy LadyBug!
On Tuesday during choice time we made our own lady bugs, played in the new bug center and tallied how many bugs we had, played more with the trolls and houses and colored. We were able to go on the playground for a short period, had snack and read a book. Then Miss Kara and Miss Danielle came and did a fun lesson with us outside where we had to do different exercises and then throw a ball into a big bin. It was hard to follow the directions sometimes but we had tons of fun!
Wednesday we painted egg cartons to make The Very Hungry Caterpillar, doll houses were open, puzzles, sorted and classified with the bug table again, bug magnets and blocks! We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. As we do most Wednesdays, we played with Mrs. Strohl's class. All the kids had a turn to play Tee-Ball. Each child had a chance to come up to bat and run the bases. We had so many homeruns!
Thursday, we had a quick choice time that was cut short because we had library! We love going to listen to the librarians read us stories and looking at all of the awesome books in there! We came back to the classroom, cleaned up choice time and went to the playground. When we came in from the playground we had the chance to go down to the gym and see the 5th graders present their Biography Projects! It is always fun to have a change of scenery and even more fun when we get to see the big kids! After snack we had outdoor centers. Some friends did bubbles, some played Stuck in the Mud, some did floor puzzles and others did chalk! It was a busy day but we are soaking up that awesome sun!!!
Friday we had our usual sensory filled choice time with shaving cream, finger painting, bulletin board paper and markers on our bellies, and a project to make our egg hunt bag! We had circle time, got our wiggles out and went on our egg hunt in the library! After our hunt we had our awesome party! Thank you everyone for the delicious treats!
