Brr! What a chilly day! Please remember that we have a half day on Wednesday. Even though the children in the main school building will not be eating lunch, WE WILL EAT LUNCH in preschool. Please pack your child a sack lunch for Wednesday. Thanks!
This morning we increased our phonemic awareness with our Break It Up game.
We worked cooperatively together in the block center. The friends were creating intricate and detailed structures. Because creative thinking is a higher level thinking skill, the block creations lead to further cognitive development! Furthermore, the children are learning foundational math skills as they play in the blocks!
Our class is full of excited and self-motivated writers and creators!
Avery took notes in dog school.
JJ used many different supplies to create in the writing center.
We continued to practice scissor skills and strengthen our fine motor skills as we cut straws!
We went to chapel today! We worked with Mrs. Kuhlmann to write a Thank You card to God for all of His many blessings! Thanksgiving is a great time for giving thanks to Our Savior- especially for His greatest gift- the gift of salvation!
During small group time, we practiced matching upper and lower case letters.
We worked together to create a mural of pictures of what we are thankful for! The children are learning how to share a creative space. They are learning how to work together so each person has room to write, draw, and create! This valuable social skill will benefit the children throughout their lives!
We also continued to work on our Thanksgiving Thankful Turkeys. The turkeys are a great way to practice fine motor skills and, again, creativity!
We all went outside together after small group time! Playing outside is also an important aspect of early childhood education. Outdoor play encourages children to communicate, to express their feelings, to discover and investigate the world around them (Guddemi, Jambor, & Moore, 1999),
