We were very excited to invite a new friend to join our cohort this week. Everyone has helped to make her feel welcome and included in all that we do. They have done anything from asking her to play and showing her all the toys and supplies, to helping her set her spot at the table for meal times and singing her songs when she is feeling down. This is what preschool is all about!
As St. Patrick’s Day draws near, we have been talking about rainbows, leprechauns and pots of gold. This offers the perfect opportunity to review our colours, and some fancy colours such as gold and silver. Some of us are even learning about what letter each colour starts with. Our colour wall is definitely helpful in sparking these conversations. It is wonderful to see the increased interest, as the year progresses, in letter learning as it associates to things that are relevant to the kids at the time. Our letters this week were G and S. The letter S was really exciting for some as it is the letter that their names begin with.
With a little bit of science and art mixed together, we stirred up ingredients to make many colours of puffy paint that were then used to create some rainbow colours artworks. The kids started making their big rainbow for the leprechaun to find. The little leprechaun may leave a special surprise at the end of the rainbow if he can find it!
The kids did St.Patrick’s Day number puzzles, where they had to count the amount of images and find the corresponding number. This kids also flexed their hand muscles by using clothespins to clip over the correct number of images on the card.
Other activities we took part in this week include playing with play dough, building with Legos, and shoveling the neighbour’s sidewalk to lend a helping hand.
