Seasons and Character and Manners Themes

The "extras" are what usually get photographed during preschool hours. What isn't pictured is most of the hard work! These kids have been doing so good at sounds and blending. They have learned several learning songs and poems. And their handwriting has improved immensely! We have an extensive preschool routine that isn't pictured but they are learning so much more than our monthly themes. 

In November our theme was Seasons. We had fun with our season box, dressing up like a "Spring girl", or "Fall boy." We made a book about the seasons with different seasonal trees. We had a few other fun art projects, too. 










 

In December we started on Focus boards. We focus on a letter, number, and shape, each day. 

We worked on some fun Christmas worksheets! 


Our theme for December was Character and Manners. 

We learned a new song: 
We say thank you, we say please.
We don't interrupt or tease. 
We don't argue, we don't fuss.
Listen when folks talk to us.
Share our toys and take our turn,
Manners are easy to learn. 

 We played a Character and Manners board game. If you land on a good manners piece, you move forward and back if you land on something with bad manners. 

We also learned about table etiquette and each practiced setting the table the correct way. 

We had a fun Christmas preschool party. We worked all month on making adorable calendars for our parents for Christmas. We played Christmas memory and snowball toss, a stocking stuffer game and a candy cane hunt. I gave each of the children a book to practice reading during Christmas break. It was such a fun party!
