Last week in preschool #10 - L is for Leaves!!

This week was all about leaves and the letter L! We read some L stories (somehow I only took a picture of one!)

 We went on a leaf hunt, then sorted our leaves by color, then by size.  Then, some leaf rubbings, of course!!

 Then we glued our favorite leaves on our letter L's.

 We made L's with our snack - pretzels and cheese.

 We pulled out objects from our mystery bag and sorted them by things that start with L and things that don't. (Our L objects - ladybug, lipstick, lamp, lion, ladybug, leaf, lettuce, lamb)

 Did more practice with the more and less because they were having a hard time mastering it.  I LOVE when I can teach to mastery!!

 We played an action game where they would have to choose a leaf, then do the action it said until the music stopped.

 Glued falling leaves on our trees.

 Day 2 we had licorice for a snack (I couldn't resist!!)

 We enjoyed the beautiful weather by playing hopscotch and around the world (and practiced our number recognition).

Last week in preschool #9 -A is for Apples!

I'm a little behind on my posts, so here's a catch up! 

We made A's out of pipe cleaners.  Then we hid them around the room and practiced using positional words to describe where it was (under the couch, on the table, inside the book).

 I got to the library too late to get all the apple books I wanted, so I settled for some others.

 We did lacing cards with the letter A!

 Painted apple trees.

 Ate apples and animal crackers.

 Played "find the apple"

Practiced making A's with craft sticks

Read about Ants

After we read this book, we pretended to make applesauce.

Colored pictures of apples

Played with apples in the water. They had so much fun with this - especially when I showed them how to bob...

For math we read a story about More and less, then we practiced identifying which bowl had more pom poms.
