Preschool News!!
Miss Courtney's Preschool Classroom
This week...
During circle time we are working on attending to different tasks such as singing hello, signing in, counting our friends, and making choices for different songs. We have been reading Pete The Cat books this week on the rug! The kids loves these stories because they all have a song that goes with them. We did a multi step art project all week in order to make Pete. We worked on finger painting, mixing colors, using glue and talking about Pete's body parts. We got outside every day this week! THe kids even got to drive the little cars and bikes all the way to the playground today! It was a fun and engaging way to transition to a different activity and they really enjoyed themselves. It has been a fabulous week in preschool!

Alfredo adds the nose to the middle of the face
We used the easel to make rows of colors
We used cookie sheets and magnets as another way to sort colors
Miss Becky brought in fun color and category sorting games!
first step of our Pete project was mixing blue and white paint in a ziplock bag (non messy!)
Then we scooped and squeezed it onto our paper plate (VERY messy!!)
Everyone got their hands into the paint and practiced covering the entire white space to turn it blue
