Preschool Time! Week 1

If I haven't said this already, our preschool group moved preschool up to two days a week this year. We also are holding it for 3 hours (this includes lunch). We also took bigger blocks - each teaching for 2 weeks (4 preschool times) at a time. The end of November rolled around and it was my turn to teach! 

November 21st our topic was Thanksgiving! We did a lot of fun things: read some books about Thanksgiving, talked about why the pilgrims wanted to leave their homes, made thankful turkeys, and put on our big turkey things we were thankful for! The biggest hit was this youtube video I found called "Let's have a dinner....Thanksgiving!" It was awesome to see a bunch of 3- and 4-year-olds dancing around and singing along. They wanted to watch it again and again. It was so cute!

November 23rd we talked about the sky. This was an interesting one because there were so many things to talk about. We talked about the sky, clouds, birds, stars, rainbows, rain, wind, the sun, the moon, planes, and probably some other things that I have forgotten. We looked at a few books and played a fun game. For the game the kids had to hit one of the objects on the ceiling with a sock I had rolled up. On the back of the objects was a song, finger plays, a fun fact, or something to watch (ex. We were learning about the letter K, so we watched a clip on what the letter K says). It got to be a bit long because I had put a lot of things on the ceiling, but it was a pretty fun game. Sadly, the only pictures I took were before the kids were there.
