Preschool activities

Last week we went to a preschool music and movement class. Miss Corrie read a book (can't remember the name of it) that got the kids up and moving.

 Cait demonstrated what hopping was.
 She twirled.
  She danced.
 Miss Corrie did the Itsy Bitsy Spider with the kids.



In the end she did a craft.
Jayden played on the iPad the whole time. 

 Earlier this week we went to another preschool class and learned about the 5 senses.
 The librarian read this book to the kids.
There were 4 sensory stations set up (taste was not included due to common food allergies but she did discuss it).

The first station we visited was the sight station. Caitlin had to use the paddles and figure out what two colors combined together made.
Next we moved over to the touch station. There were small sensory bags filled with items. Caitlin had to draw the shapes she felt inside of the bag.

The third station was the hearing station. There were various instruments, included water bottles filled with rice. We made some music together before we moved on to the final station.
The last station was the smell station. She glued cinnamon to the back of her pie, then glued the pie to a paper.

 There were bottles filled with scented cotton balls.


 After the activity was complete, Caitlin got to pick out a free book. She chose Jump, Frog, Jump! by Robert Kalan.
