Learning the Continents

The month of April has flown by! We had such a fun time learning about continents this year in preschool. We spent time learning about each continent with our continent boxes. During lesson time students got to come and pick something out of the box and explain why they thought it belonged to that continent. So much fun! In the Africa box we even had a bracelet made out of elephant tail hair. 

We also completed a few great art projects for each continent. 

For South America we made rain sticks- totally cool. They took a little more adult help then I thought they would though. And we tried but they didn't make it start raining. 

For Europe we watercolored a picture of the Eiffel Tower which was easy and fun! They turned out so pretty too.

For Asia we made accordion dragons. The Mulan movie was in the continent box that day. They wanted to watch it instead of do art. :) Too bad kiddos! 

For our Australia day we made paper bag kangaroos and for Antarctica we made snowflakes. 

We also got to have a preschool party! We filled up our jar with poms poms we earned working hard. We played a lot of fun games to celebrate. After learning time we went on a treasure hunt for our special treat (chocolate chip cookies). We played a new game we called musical numbers. We walked around the letters in a circle to the music and when the music stopped they had to find a letter and quick! sit down! 

We went fishing for letters and played shape bingo, too. Bingo winners got to pick a treasure from the treasure box.
