Rain, Storms & Emergencies was the theme for the last week in April at Shawnee Home Preschool. The weather cooperated and gave us some rain and storms that week. We enjoyed walking in the rain and learning what to do in the case of various emergencies.
We did some storm art during Art Time. Outside, we painted a rain barrel. In connection with earth day, we discussed how some people collect rain in barrels and then use it to water their gardens or other needs during dry spells.
In Centers, the kids enjoyed playing games with balls and Simon says.
For Circle Time, we continued with words and sentences. Then we danced with some skip counting by 10s.
Outside we looked for more signs of spring. It never gets old to play on the fallen log!
We collected flowers and blossoms to bring indoors.
During Drama time, we acted out different emergency scenarios such as calling 911, what to do in a fire, earthquake, storm or tornado. We put together a real emergency bag. We even practiced some first aid!
Our tomatoes are just about ripe! Hopefully we will get to try some during our next week focusing on the theme: Animals! Thanks for reading Rain, Storms and Emergencies! See you next week!
