Miss Courtney and Miss Amy's Preschool Class
This Week
Tuesday we followed our normal routine of washing hands, writing our names, and making choices. The choice time was outside, we played in the rice table, traced our friends with chalk, ran races around the grass, played egg tag, drew on easel, and did puzzles! We went inside and did circle time and read a story. Then we had snack and enjoyed a fun Miss Kara and Miss Danielle lesson! We did relay races with eggs, some were harder than others but we did our best!
Wednesday we took full advantage of the beautiful weather! We did choice time outside, made roads and cities out of blocks, cars and large bulletin board paper. We had friends playing in sand and in rice. Miss Tam called some friends inside to do some of our awesome crafts! There were some friends playing tag on the grass too! Afterwards we played Duck, Duck, Goose with the whole class! It was so great to just spend time outside altogether! We came inside and had circle time, learned some new spring songs and read a spring book! After snack we went outside with Mrs. Strohl's class and played on the playground! It was a quick day but a much needed day of letting our wiggles and screams out!
Thursday was SO fun! We started our choice time with the boxes that everyone sent in. The kids had so many cool ideas of how they would build with them. Some friends turned them into parking garages, some made ramps, some were making buildings. It was so cool to see all the different social experiences during this time! Some friends built together, others in parallel play. Some were building just to tear down and others were building to do pretend play. It was a great period of play. At the tables we continued to do some spring crafts and made some really cool bunnies! We learned a new egg song that helped up with our numbers and colors. After snack we watched Silly Symphony Funny Little Bunnies online. The kids loved watching the funny video of bunnies!
We have started doing a sensory choice time on Fridays. The kids drew pictures on the floor, played PlayDoh, opened sand, shaving cream, making bunnies with white paint and finishing up bunnies with overalls. We had circle time and a story. We had snack and finished with a game of Flower Power (kind of like hang man). We play with the kids names!
It was a very busy but very fun week for all of us!
Next Week (or really next, next week!)
