Sports Theme

This past week was sports week and we had so much fun learning about different sports and athletes such as Michael Jordan, who we learned was 6 foot 6 inches tall!!!  We painted with different types of sports equipment such as basketballs, footballs and golf balls.  We read books such as Curious George at the Baseball Game, T is for Touchdown and H is for Homerun.  We sang songs such as "Take me out to the ball game" and even enjoyed some ice cream on a hot summer day!

Our first art activity of the week was to paint with basketballs.  We got some neat textures on our balls.  We hung those up with our first name sticker penants.  We practiced spelling our names with letter stickers to make these colorful penants.

Below were our footballs!  We painted with footballs, added glitter and added our handprints to make it look like we are catching the football!  They turned out so cute! :)

We worked hard cutting out our circular baseballs.  We worked very hard cutting and cutting circles is an extremely difficult task but we did such a great job!!  We then traced the lines on a baseball and used our fingers with stamps to make the laces on the baseball!! "Pre-K Knocked it out of the park!!"

We also talked about our favorite numbers and made colorful basketball

 jerseys with our name and number on the back! 

We also worked on strenghtening our fine motor skills by cutting strips of

different colored paper in the sensory tub!

We also did some other neat activities like sorting the letter Bb for baseball, matching capital and lowercase letters, played dancing games with our wrist ribbons and played with our sports equipment.  We marbled painted with golf balls in art on friday and enjoyed water day and getting Miss Vanessa soaking wet on Thursday.  It was so hot this week so we enjoyed some inside activities like coloring in the hallway!!

Don't forget: Water Day is this Friday!!!

We have so much fun getting wet and letting our teachers SOAK us! :)

This week is "If You Give A...Week" so we are reading stories such as If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, If You Give A Pig A Pancake,  and If You Take A Mouse to the Movies!  Check back next week to see the fun activities we did!

Have a great week!
