The end of this week was American History and we will learn some more about our President's on Monday. We discussed a lot about the American Flag. We learned why we have 50 stars and what the colors mean. In art I had the students draw their own depictions...some where very realistic while others were a little abstract!!
We also learned a little about the Statue of Liberty on Thursday. We thought she was pretty neat! We watercolored a background scene for her. This is an example from one of my three year olds. When dry, we glued our Statue of Liberty on top!
We also completed a worksheet where the students had to color land and water on the picture of the globe, color the flag and draw a line from the American Flag to the United States. It totally slipped my mind where I got this, so if it's yours, please email me and I will give you due credit!
We also enjoyed our sensory table! It had blue rice and letter beads, blue and red feathers, red crinkle paper and red, white and blue pom poms. They loved it :)
Some of our friends are working on sight words! This is a big deal for us in Pre-K and the kids LOVE reading! It's so cute to see them love school...this is why I love this age :) The kiddos doing sight words work in their own individual book at their own pace, so even if they are in the same group, they might be doing different words. They work on a word a day, usually two words a week. The worksheet requires them to write the word three times, which is great to assess handwriting. They also find the word in different blocks and have to highlight the words in a sentence.
Although we have school, I am very excited about our President's day activities!
Be sure to check back to check them out!
Have a great weekend,
Miss Danielle
