Circle Time
The theme of this week is things that go, so the preschoolers are having so much fun listening to the story, Soaring Rockets! After each item from the story was introduced, the children took turns pulling out that item from the mystery spaceship bag. They learned all about the different parts of a space ship and had so much fun!
Today the kids learned the "Choo-Choo Train" song through a fun, step by step activity. We started off by going through the lyrics together, and adding dance moves that match the words and sounds of the song. This helped the kids practice listening, remembering movements, and following directions. At the end of the song we all got together in one big line, and traveled around the classroom together as one big choose choose train! This made a fun and exciting way to bring life to our song and dance.

Art:
This week during art, the kids had a blast painting their very own tractors as part of our "Things That Go" lessons! They used sponge sticks to paint their popsicle stick tractors and stuck on paper wheels to complete their creations. Each tractor featured their adorable photo in the driver's seat window, making this project extra special! The children enjoyed getting creative while practicing their fine motor skills and exploring colors.
Gross Motor
Today in gross motor students pretended to be airplanes and ran around "they sky" and "the airport" they ran the runway and jumped as they took off, students had to face many obstacles while in the sky, turbulence (balancing on one foot) and dodging birds in the sky (tilting wings)! Students had so much fun in gross motor playing airplanes!

For Language today, we are gonna be playing a game of Simon says. The kids will take turns being Simon. Using their language skills they know so far and learning new language as the game goes on! This will help them enforce listening skills, and their speaking skills while giving directions to their peers!
