Trinity Preschool Actvities for Thursday, March 3, 2011

Willow Room: T/TH class

We listened to a story on a CD called Itsy Bitsy spider by Keith Chapman

We painted paper plates using black paint. We will turn them into our own itsy bitsy spiders to climb our hallway walls.

We are learning nursery rhymes, and some favorite fingerplays.

We sang Itsy, bitsy spider, the little fish, and Rock and roll body parts.

We did coloring with chalk dipped in sugar water.

Oak Room:

We read "What next, baby bear? " by Jill Murphy

We painted and decorated paper plate flying saucers.

We had a new activity out today, they are file folder games that are beginning letter sounds and also Rhyming words

We also had a magnetic alphabet puzzle.

We have been playing games with the children, counting games, number games, letter matching and letter sounds.

We sang "Two little blackbirds, an opposites song, and the blast off song.

We did a balloon rocket demonstration; we stretched out a string with a small piece of a straw on it; then we used tape to attach the balloon to the straw ( to make it slide up and down the string). Next we filled the balloon with air (we used a hand held pump), but, did not tie it off, let go of the end and the balloon traveled up the string.
