"Homes to Live In"

Last week our theme was "Homes To Live In". We talked about our own homes and different animal homes, our neighborhoods, all the different things houses are made out of, who builds houses, and the different parts of a house. We learned the "Muffin Man" song and learned that he lives on Drury Lane. So, we made yummy muffins for our Kitchen Corner project this week. We also learned to always thank God for our homes and our families. Our letter of the week was "B". We introduced number 2!
We were very excited to start our Christian curriculum supplement this week too!
We started the week making people from playdough. We learned that God created us all and made each one of us very different and special(just like our playdough people were designed very differently)and that He calls us by name. He knows who we are. He knows everything about us...the hairs on our heads, the things we do. Each one of us is special and God loves us so much. We learned who Adam and Eve were, and that God created them and us and ALL things in the world.Our memory verse is God said, "I have chosen you". Isaiah 41:9. We are actually doing very well at reciting this! :) This brings me lots of joy by the way...all these little hearts that are so open to hearing God's word. He is so good.

2nd week -"Leaves and Trees" continued...

This week we continued our Leaves and Trees theme. We discussed what kinds of animals live in trees and all the things that are made from trees. We "swirled and twirled" like leaves falling from a tree. We filled our discovery table with leaves,nuts,and apples. It has been a huge hit! We made grandparents Day gifts and learned a new song about how much we love our grandmas/grandpas. Our letter of the month is "A". This week "A" was for address. We drew ourselves pretty pictures that we are going to mail to our own homes. Parents, be sure and be on the lookout for your childs picture in the mail next week. :) They are excited about this!

Wednesday Sept. 9

Wednesday is wear RED day!!!



Parents help your child find an item from home that begins with the letter "A". Have them bring it to class to put in our "A" basket.

First week of preschool!

We talked about fall weather and how we are going to be observing the trees in the back yard all year to see how they change with the seasons. We went outside with our "spy glasses" and gathered fall items in our own little baskets. Then, we came inside to the science center and shared with each other what we had found and what each item was called. We will keep these items in the center all throughout our fall theme. Jump roping was introduced,but we gave that up pretty quickly. Our art time was spent making tree headbands. We thought they were pretty cool!

Cutting different textures

Lacing beads & using stencils

We loved the bead lacing, but we haven't quite mastered the stencils. :D
