Happy Thanksgiving

Welcome to our new blog for Milestones Preschool. I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving! Here are scenes from our Thanksgiving activity before break...

The MTW class spend all week preparing their Stone Soup and we ate it last Wednesday, it was delicious and healthy! Thank you for bringing in ingredients.

The T/Th group enjoyed using chop sticks to pick up our water table full of cranberries and made turkey cards for our families.

Arghhh! Ahoy mateys! We indulged in some pirate play today, which also presented itself with some skill acquisition opportunities! Firstly, after reading the fun book below we drew our own treasure maps. Drawing the "X's" to mark the spot where the treasure is buried is also a good way to cross the midline! We painted "gold nuggets" for our treasure and engaged in lots of cooperative dramatic play which is super great for language development and, of course, social skills... Hazel, as well as Isaac are writing their full names! AND another special name: MOM. Above, it was fun to wash the rocks before we painted them and below we counted our gold coins. The children discovered that more gold coins were buried in the rice!

What happened to the Gingerbread Man? We ate him! After, reading 2 versions of the story and play-acting it - see Isaac acting as the G-Man below. We decorated our own big cookie and then threw "indoor snowballs" at each other in the hallway. When we came back into the room the G-Man we made had tried to escape! We found him in our fake snow and then proceeded to nibble on him!

The kids played "doctor's office." We love using Miss Jill's pastry cutter with the play dough. Isaac wrote his entire name for the first time by himself at school!! Milestone! We played the game Don't Spill the Beans and enjoyed reading a shadow version of The Polar Express.
