Back-to-Preschool

I for one preschool kids all year long, but to keep in the scheme of things, we are officially "Back To Preschool".  September marks milestones for us, those who have now mastered all the preschool basics from previous year and then there are the new children starting who are not quite sure what a glue stick is used for.  My 3-4 year olds act like mommies and daddies, showing the 2-3 year olds "how things are done."  I love this time of year and can't wait to blog all about weather changes, themes we are learning, projects we are doing, friendships that are being made and more preschool being learned.  Join us for another round of PattyKakesKidz 2012/2013.

This week was all about the respect, friendships, the colors blue and purple, the number one and the shape Circle.  We made two puppets each representing ourselves and how we see our friends, we read many stories on feelings and emotions, we painted oceans of blue, did computer drawings, made our own games of our surroundings and then played them with our friends, we wrote in our journals and compared the shape of our faces to shapes, only to find out that we did indeed have "round" faces like a circle.  We did this using mirrors and documenting our findings in our journals.  It was a great week.  Here are some pictures during our face discoveries and journaling it. 

Below the kids are being read a story about a parent who is going to be a mommy.  This was chosen because we have two beautiful families who are expecting.  The story covers the many questions toddlers have about their mommies and their bodies.  It was such a wonderful day.

One of the pages was a picture of a very pregnant mommy laying down on the couch with her feet up while daddy and child were making dinner for her.  Then one of our 3 year old announces, we do that for mommy cuz she's nautious!  We all started laughing.  It was a great wrap up to our week.  Until next Friday with PattyKakesKidz
