Conflict Resolution

Conflict Resolution was the theme for the first week of October at Shawnee Home Preschool. It was a fun week because we had a beautiful new friend join us! Playing with friends is so much fun!

In regards to our theme, we learned what to do if children are playing together and they all want to do different things. We also talked about how to join/ enter a group of friends and how not to give up. We learned to think about how to solve a conflict with words and ideas rather than hitting, screaming or throwing, etc.

In Art, we did various projects including painting rocks, coloring, and making a tree collage and placemat. We practiced writing names, or if they couldn’t write, they just listened to the letters in their name as I wrote them down.

For Circle time, we focused on the letter G, the color orange, and the shape of a heart. We checked the weather, and the calendar and noted the season. We practiced saying our full names, clapping the syllables, and finding the letters in our names. We then did exercises while counting. Centers were lots of fun with dress-up, cars, and tea parties. Music/Movement/Dance time is always super fun with lots of friends!

Outside we collected leaves, acorns, and flowers. We played I spy, observed the clouds, set up an obstacle course, played Marco Polo, and threw rocks in the pond to make a big splash.
