Today we took down the fall leaves off the preschool tree. We proceed to talk about how most trees have no leaves on them when the weather is cold. We then learned about Pine Trees. Pine trees stay green all year even in cold weather. We then put up a wall cover, pine tree to replace the fall tree. We changed the month from November to December, we talked about things that happen during the month of December. (Hope I didn't get them too excited.) We made a Christmas Tree advent calendar. We played a game with it during class. We picked the numbers and out of a bag and matched it with the same number on the tree. I hope parents and family will help your preschooler with this Christmas tree advent calendar. They can randomly pick numbers and match it up, or find the next number to glue on. After each day I hope they will count how many days are still left uncovered, so they can start to understand the concept of time. My three year olds, I sent home stickers to place on the numbers. We do an advent calendar in class also, however, it is a lot more fun to have your own to do at home!
For the number 5 we counted the points on stars, we counted the fingers on one hand, and we counted the silly monkeys on the game board bed. We then glued 5 pointed stars to our number five. The 4-5 year olds practiced printing the numbers then gluing the numbers above each five fingers that they "hand stamped" onto a piece of paper.
