K is for kicking

This week the preschoolers learned all about the letter K, the color black and the shape of a hexagon!

 

 Here are some of the kids making a Big K and a little k with their bodies!

For Show-&-Tell Taylee and Liam both brought Key's and Elle brought her Kitty Cat.

 Abby enjoyed corrisponding numbers with clothes pins!  She did an excellent job!

 

 The preschoolers are all improving their pencil grip and in writing their names!

 This was our last week learing about our amazing bodies.  Today we focused on the importance of exercise and eating healthy.  Here are some of the preschoolers stretching.  Liam's face is the perfect expression for what he was saying as he stretched, "it hurts, it hurts!"

 We did some jumping jacks, sit-ups and running around the yard!

 

 We also talked about how playing can be healthy for your body too.  Here are some pics of the preschoolers doing what they do best!

 

We also learned about the different food groups and how important it is to eat healthy meals and snacks.  Each preschooler received their own place mat with a plate as we ate our own snacks from each of the food groups.  We enjoyed apples, crackers, cheese, lunch meat, lettuce (or giraffe leaves as we called them) and some gummy worms (which was the favorite of most!).

 

After our snacks the preschoolers had a bunch of pictures of different foods and had to come up with a healthy meal for them to eat and put it on their plate.  It was quite funny what some came up with!

 

Here's Abby's plate she picked a pretty well balanced meal!

 It was a fun month of learning all about our Amazing Bodies!  I'm looking forward to our theme in February ... "It's a Small World."
