Explore our World is our current theme for preschool. We are learning about how the Earth is round, we are looking at globes (even playing catch with a beach ball globe!), looking at maps, making a pretend map and much more.
Each class time we also go on a treasure hunt complete with a map of the backyard & playground where students find the numbers 1-7 hidden in spots that coordinate with the map. They turn in their numbers for a tresure of the day from the treasure box.
We are singing about the 7 continents and will be also learning another ocean song. We will be introduced to a United States map and Arizona map as well.
For fall fun, we painted pumpkins and finished them with glitter - they turned out so cute! We also read about Spookley the square pumpkin and made our own unusual shaped pumpkins. We did an activity to practice rhyming words and have started to use nursery rhymes and our favorite stories as part of our puppet theater.
Children brought in mystery items (starting with a previous letter of the day)and gave 3 clues for the other children to guess the mystery object for show and tell for October. It has been a busy month!
We also took a class picture! Look for the pictures to be in a finished format soon. Thanks Ivonne for taking them!
