Easter: Group A

Easter Bunnies

The children really got into making Easter Baskets and Bunny masks today.  We had plenty of Easter bunnies hopping around delivering Easter Eggs!

Lego and An Easter Cross

I recently put out some new Lego for the children to play with.  They are thoroughly enjoying playing with it.  It is such a good activity for them to practice sharing and for them to develop their Fine Motor Skills and their creativity!

It is Lent.   Every classroom in the school has been making a Cross to hang over the classroom door.  These girls did a fine job!  They, too, used their Fine Motor Skills and Social Skills to work on this project. 

Number Sense

We have been working on number sense in Pre K.  Simple games like these are an excellent way for children to learn about numbers.  If you play games with your children at home, you will see that their knowledge of numbers and what numbers mean, will improve greatly.  Also, playing games is a good way to teach taking turns, sharing and being a good sport. 

Plaid Day in Pre K

It was Plaid Day Today. 

Santa Hat Day

Today was Santa Hat Day.  These two students got into the spirit.

We also gave a December Birthday child some Birthday Blessings. 

The Amaryllis is Growing

The Amaryllis is very close to blooming!  

Sometimes it is hard to aim the sprayer at the soil.  I think someone got a bit of water in her eye!

Pyjama Day and A Birthday Blessing

Today was Pyjama day!  These five students were nice and cozy all day!

We also celebrated a birthday.

The Christmas Spirit is Alive in Pre K!

Today, the children were in the Christmas Spirit and chose to do many "Christmasy" things.

When I asked this young fellow about his drawing, he told me he was drawing a baby and his mommy. I noticed that the baby was inside mommy and remarked about that old loud. He told me that it was Baby Jesus. 

Other children decided to go to the art Center and find folded construction paper Christmas trees to cut out and decorate.

Another little guy was busy colouring a tree.

Some of the artwork found it's way to our class Christmas Tree.

These girls were playing with "TheraPutty" a wonderful activity to strengthen the muscles in fingers and hands.  They were wrapping gems in the TheraPutty and pretending they were presents.  Then they would give the presents to their friends to open.  Not only was this a great fine motor skill activity, it was also a great way to practice good social skills!
