Letter M, BIG or small, and Planet Earth







Today was a great day at preschool for me and the kids. I really enjoyed it today and felt like the kids really learned and had fun.

Today we started with centers (like always). The listening center, writing center, building center, and the mixed up center. The listening center and the writing center are centers that we have everyday. The other two centers rotate. In the building center the kids played with wooden blocks, and in the mixed up center the kid had to put the number magnets in order and match up the correct lower case letter to the upper case letter.

For circle time we went over the calendar, looked at our pine cones, counted, learned the letter Mm and made some observations about size. We are beginning to compared things that are a different size. Starting with words like - Large, Big, Small, Little and Medium. Today we compared pumpkins. Hopefully working up to comparing numbers.

When the kids are at their tables for individual time they pasted different size shapes in order (small, medium, large). Also they wrote in their alphabet books.

After play time and snack time we read some books about planet earth and then the kids returned to their tables to color their Earth picture.
