Here are some questions you can ask your preschooler about our day:
What colors did you use for your Earth Day prints?
What are some of the pirate play safety plans at preschool?
Why is the Alphabet Friend X covered in shiny tape?
Tuesday: X MARKS THE SPOT ON EARTH DAY
X MARKS THE SPOT WORK: We added pieces of white on our black hats in the shape of letter Xs. We have a pretend pirate ship and treasure boxes to play with along with our Pirate Play Safety Plan. We went on a treasure hunt and found our Alphabet Friend X marking the spot where we found some bubbles and Smarties! Good thing that X got all covered in shiny reflective tape so it was easy to see!
THE EARTH DAY: In honor of Earth Day, we did gel printing with different shades of green and blue paint, adding a little glitter because what a treasure our planet is! We made the connection between the earth and bubbles both being spheres.
STORY TIME: We visited two books today, What Happened to You? by James Catchpole and Pirates Ahoy! by Hans Wilhelm. In both books we’re looking at characters who want to play “pirate.” This helped us come up with our plans for preschool pirate play!
COPING SKILL OF THE WEEK: X marks the spot: When we straighten and then cross our arms over each other, we are crossing midline which strengthens the neural connection between the left and right hemispheres of your brain (aka bilateral integration). We know that the left brain processes things like language and logic while the right brain processes things like emotions and creativity like music and art.
