Book - Children Around the World
We picked a couple kids out of the book and read about how they live their lives. Most where from different countries and had different things than we have. We discussed that not everyone has a house like us and live the same way we do.
Movement - Three Little Pigs
I told the story of the three little pigs and let the kids help build the houses out of straw (tooth picks), sticks (Q tips), and bricks (blocks). Then I pretended to be the big bad wolf and blow the houses down. At the end I let them each build their own house out of bricks. They really enjoyed this activity and we did it over and over again.
Alphabet/Writing - White Boards
We bought little white wipe off boards and have not really used them so I decided to get them out. We went through letters A-H (just capitals) I demonstrated how to write the letter and they did their best to copy what I did. I was quit impressed with how well they did and how much they enjoyed it. Then we worked on writing their names.
Art/Craft - Homes
Prior to preschool I wrapped cereal boxes in white paper. The kids got to color their house whatever color they wanted. Then glue on windows, door, and a chimney.
Game - Doll House
I got our doll house set out and let them pretend play with that. They played so well with them. It was nice to sit back and watch them interact with each other and pretend play.
Wednesdays Schedule - Thanksgiving
Book - Turkey with a Terrible Temper
Movement - Outside Play
It was a beautiful day outside so we bundled the kids up and let them run around outside for a little.
Alphabet - Turkey or Letter
In a basket I put pieces of paper with letters on them and a few with pictures of a turkey on them. The kids took turns picking a piece of paper. If they got a letter they had to name it and make its sound. If they got a turkey they had to run around the room gobbling like a turkey. They loved this game!
Art/Craft - Q tip Leaves
I printed a picture of a bare tree and the kids used Q tips to paint the leaves on.
Game - Matching
Color matching game we own. Great to work on taking turns, following rules, and matching colors.
