Making Good Choices was the theme for the second week of Shawnee Home Preschool in September. This was an exciting week because we celebrated a birthday and the first day of fall!
For Art, markers and paints were used to color pictures while we talked about making good choices. We also used this time to talk about their names, the letters in their names and, if possible, the children try to write their names or some letters themselves.
At Circle time, we focused on the letter E, the color pink, and the shape of a heart. We practiced A-E using sign language, reviewed the letter sounds, and practiced syllables, counting, rhyming, and patterns. Every day this week there was a multiple choice quiz using the Making Good Choices cards. It was super exciting when we got to change the season to fall! Next week will be all about fall.
We had a special birthday party at lunch and a pretend one during Center time.
On the other days, we discussed making good choices during pretend play; such as taking turns and playing nicely.
Outside we made shapes and drawings with chalk. We also went on a walk in the backyard to collect leaves and rocks for next week’s art projects.
During story and fingerplay time we went over our usual songs, adding a new one every day. This week we learned a song that uses one’s name and address. We discussed the importance of knowing your full name, address, and parent’s names just in case of an emergency situation- such as getting lost. This is a great new song to add to our list of fingerplays. We also read books about telling the truth and how to make things right after a mistake.
I hope you enjoyed Making Good Choices! Next week will be All About Fall!
