Leaf Study
We continued and wrapped up our leaf study this week! Our little scientists checked out the different leaves that were brought in and enjoyed playing with the forest (stuffed) animals in our homemade tree habitat. Small animal figurines were another favorite, with friends building them dens to live in, using baskets, boxes, blocks and our set of tree shaped blocks.
We went for nature walks and found different colored leaves. We compared the shapes of leaves, as well as their sizes.
We played a math game with leaves, counting out the leaves to fill the tree.
Some friends chose to do art projects :)
Small groups worked on letter sounds, as we try to name letters, make corresponding sounds, and some are starting to hear sounds that they know in different words.
We participated playing with balls in indoor play ...
... and our weather-permitting outdoor play!
There’s always something interesting to do in preschool!
