All About Fall

All About Fall was the theme for the last week in September at Shawnee Home Preschool. We had a fun week learning all about the wonderful season of fall.

For art, we worked with natural objects such as leaves, rocks, and pine cones as well as traditional coloring pages.

During circle time, we went over our usual letters, numbers, colors, and shapes as well as learning about seasons and why leaves change color and fall to the ground.

At center time, we acted out some common fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs.

During outside time, we explored how fall was changing the landscape. We collected leaves, and sticks and spotted some butterflies. Next, we counted the sticks and formed them into letters. We also played a game of memory add-on, doing gymnastics tricks on a mat outside, and taking turns trying to remember all of the tricks the other person did.

Other activities we did this week included playing Go Fish, using math counters for adding and subtraction, practicing writing our names, and other skills, but the favorite time is always music and movement!

Thanks for reading All About Fall! Next week will be learning about Conflict Resolution!
