Preschool This Week 9-4-12

 This week in Preschool.....


 We learned about squares!  
We made squares with our bodies....
Played games with square pieces...

And glued together squares to make mosaics of our letter of the week...

The Letter B!!
We made our own Bean Bags to toss, Built with Blocks, and had a Box full of things that start with B.
We learned that B is for...

Books!
(This week we read The Mixed-Up Chameleon, Actual Size, Bread Bread Bread, and  Quick as a Cricket)
Bread!
 
(We rolled & stretched the dough)

(Cut it into rather artistic strips)

(Painted the strips with butter, and sprinkled on some cheesy seasonings)

(And enjoyed our homemade Breadsticks with our Buddies at lunch)
B is also for Bodies!

We used our bodies to draw:  Butcher paper bodies, complete with  various body parts.
We use dour bodies to count:  Our number of the week was 2--We discovered that we have 2 of so many of our body parts!
We used our bodies to dance:  There was a good deal of giggling during Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes and The Hokey Pokey.
We used our bodies to experiment:  We splinted our elbows straight and tried to put on a hat or scratch our noses--more giggling--and talked about how important our 'bendy parts' are.
We used our bodies to move:  The kids are all enthusiastic runners, hoppers, rollers, crawlers, & backwards-walkers!
And we made silly bodies with Mr. Potato Head AND with our snacks!:




See you next week!!
