Animal Classification Theme

We are working hard on reading! We practice every preschool day on our reading levels. Oakley started reading this month too, hurray! We have a few working on letter recognition and sounds too. We do these one-on-one turns during puzzles and snack time. The kids are getting really good at puzzles too! 

 

Our monthly theme for January was animal classification. First we learned about mammals, then birds, fish, and reptiles. We had some fun crafts to do with each classification. We had fun learning the animal song too. 

We are still working on our names each preschool day as well. I'd like them to be kindergarten quality before moving onto spotlights for whiteboard practice. We are getting close! 

Character & Manners theme and Christmas fun!

 Our theme for December was character and manners. We talked about being polite and saying words like please and thank you. We had lessons on how to set a table and good table manners. We played a fun manners, "what would you do game", too! 

We did lots of fun Christmas worksheets and art projects. My favorite were the Rudolph hats!  

The kids are getting really good at puzzles and doing better on their names. 

We do a little bit of yoga each day at preschool. We call it "bug yoga" because the different positions imitate bugs! 

Our preschool Christmas party was really fun. We made play dough shapes with cookie cutters, made a cute photo craft, had a candy cane hunt, snowman bean bag toss, and played "stocking stuffer" where the kids have to guess what is in the stocking while blindfolded. 

Merry Christmas! See you next year!
