Name Work:
- We have been working very hard on writing and recognizing our names. One project we did to help with this was "noodle names." I wrote all my little kiddos names on construction paper, then put glue one letter at a time and my preschoolers glued pasta on their name. Great practice with fine motor skills and name recognition!! Check it out.
Letter Work:
- We recently learned the letter A and the letter B. I like to use anchor charts to brainstorm words that start with the letter. I do my best with the drawings and my kids like to remind me that I'm really not the best artist :) We also put beads on letter B's for recognition and fine motor skills. The kids did this with partners. It was great to see them try and work together to finish it! While doing this the kids were very concentrated as you can tell from the pictures. We also do zoo phonics so the friends we have met so far are Ally Alligator and Bubba Bear!
Finger Print Tree:
- One of our projects we did was these cute little trees. I cut out trunks and branches from construction paper and handed them out so that the preschools could make their own tree arrangement. I then gave them yellow, red and orange paint and they used their fingerprints to make the leaves on the trees. Some are more defined than others, but all very creative!
Art Show!
- Every year our preschoolers work hard on creating awesome art work to "sell" at our annual art show. I took my kids work and matted them, laminated them and put them on display. Last Thursday, parents, grandparents and other various family members came with their little ones to "buy" their work. We ask family members to make donations to take the art work home and raise money for our PTO and scholarships :) Check out all the amazing art work my kiddos created!
Thanks for catching up with us!! I will try to start updating once a week so the posts aren't so crazy long. Happy fall!!
