E is for Elephant

E is for Elephant!

(You should have your child show you how we turned our arm into an elephant trunk and practiced saying our "e,e,e" sound.)

For Show-&-Tell Conner and Abby both brought elephants and Brennan brought a book of trucks ... he was able to find a Fire EEEngine for us to look at and practice our E sound with.

Our new theme this month is "BOOKS are the BEST!"

We started this week off with Dr. Seuss and what a GREAT time we had. To say that I love Dr. Seuss books is probably an understatement ... I think they're fantastic and teach so many great lessons.

As part of our Math time (and snack time:)) we read, "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish." Preschoolers had fun counting our fish and putting them into their proper bowls. During snack time they all had their own "fish bowls" which they were able to count how many fish they had as well as sort the colors of red, green and yellow (gold).

Another math activity that we did was read the book, "Ten Apples Up On Top." This was such a fun story for the kids ... they LOVED it ... and they loved our fun little activity even more of gluing apples on top of their own heads and counting them!

During our Circle Time we read the book, "Are You My Mother?" The preschoolers had such a fun time coming up with ideas of who could be our little ducks mother. We sang 3 little ducks and made sure the mother duck said, "quack, quack, quack!"
