Letter of the Week: C

Carrot Painting!!!

We learned about the letter C this week and on Tuesday the kids got to paint using Carrots! Some of them opted to refer back to our Jackson Pollock painting and attemped to splatter paint using the carrots, and others created some fun circle prints using one end of the carrot. It's always interesting to see the different creations they come up with.

This Week's Theme: Emotions

This Week we studied Emotions. I had a lot of fun with the kids when I asked them to show me their best happy, sad, angry, etc. face. We used some of these pictures on Thursday in our art project. Here are our results!

Angry Faces

Last week our theme was Famlies. If you remember those cameras I sent home with your child on the first day of class, I developed their pictures and we used them to make Family Trees. On Tuesday we made Trees by doing footprints for the trunk and handprints for the leaves, and then on Thursday the kids got to see the pictures they had taken and got to choose some of their family members to cut out and glue onto their tree. They were all VERY excited to see the pictures they had taken themselves. Here are the trees.

Jackson Pollock Splatter Painting

Oh Thursday of our first week of preschool we talked about the artist Jackson Pollock and they way he uses splatter painting in his art. The kids enjoyed getting to create their own splatter painting. I thought they turned out wonderful and I loved how each one turned out differently.

First Week of Preschool

The first week of preschool was lots of fun. The kids started getting to know each other and our theme for the week was NAMES. We played musical chairs with our names. When the music stopped each child had to find the chair with their name on it and sit down.

On our first day we read a book called "The Name Jar" and then each child recieved a paper with a Jar printed on it and their name written in the jar. They then got the chance to trace over the letters of their name using their fingers and paint. After doing a little bit of tracing most of the kids enjoyed getting their whole hands into the project!

New Preschool Blog

Preschool Parents,

I have decided to start a blog for Preschool. This blog can only be viewed by you as the parents/members of the Preschool. I thought this would be a good way to show you some of things we do in preschool each day or week, and also to post information like Calendars, Special days etc.
So be looking for future posts!
