Today we again took a look at our Preschool tree, and changed the appearance. We took down our snowflakes and put up hearts, on our tree. We changed the month from January to February, and talked about events that will happen this month. Since tomorrow is Ground Hog's Day, we started our day talking about shadows. First we read, "Go to Sleep Groundhog!", a funny book about a groundhog who couldn't sleep and ended up awake for all the fun winter holidays, Then Miss Janalynn brought out a large spot light, and we turned out the ceiling light. We took turns making funny shadows on the wall. We then matched up pretend shadows to their owner. (This was interesting to see if the children could use their imagination and actually face the shadow in the right direction).
We started our Alphabets today! We went around the room a pointed out items with the "A" sound. We colored pictures and then practiced some cutting skills, and cut out pictures that had the "A" sound so we could glue them to our craft Apple. We put on our Aprons so we could paint Black Ants, out of egg cartons. The older class practiced folding the legs back and forth to make legs for our Ants.
We sang a fun moving song, "The Ants Go Marching" , and the children guessed correct, when I made them guess our snack.....Sliced Apples!
