Rocking into October!

October has been a very busy month. We are learning about the body, Halloween, Sizes, and so much more. The children love this song. If you ask them to tell you what month is it? They will all quickly tell you October!

IPAD Apps

As you know we have been using An Ipad in the prek3 classes this year. Some of you have inquired about Ipad app suggestions. The children love using and listening to stories on the Ipad. Some Apps I use are free while others cost a few dollars to use. Some Ipad favorites have been,

Magnetic Letters Lite: A free app that has letters, I used this today to practice name recognition

Story Chimes: They love the 3 little pigs story. There are many other stories too

Fish Preschool: An numbers, colors and letters app based around ocean chararacters

Toy Story read along: The Toy Story 1 app is free. The Children can listen to the story and pictures move

Dem Bones: A singing and dancing skeleton app

I hear ewe: This app makes many different sounds

ABC's and Me: A free letter number and color app

A Bee Sees: A letter number & color app in which a Bee has to pop balloons

Zoodles: This free app has some great educational and fun videos,

Spooky Playhouse: a new halloween app with matching, shape, and counting games.

There are new apps coming out constantly so I am always on the look out for new ones. Feel free to comment and share if you have a favorite Ipad app!

Our Brain is a Machine!

Today we learned about our Brains! We learned that our Brains are very important because they are like machines that tell the rest of our body parts what to do. We sang a song to the tune of the farmer and the dell that goes like this, My Brain is a Machine, My Brain is a machine, It helps my body move and think. My Brain is a Machine!
We also passed around a foam brain & glued paper brains onto our paper bodies. Her are some photos of todays Brainy activities.
Have a wonderful fall break!

Learning about our Bodies During October

For October we are going to be talking about our bodies and we will end the month with some Halloween activities. This week we have a hospital in our Dramatic Play Center. We are also learning that there are some body parts that we can see like our skin, our eyes & our hair.  There are also body parts that we cant see such as our heart, brain & lungs. We will learn some new songs and be making life size human body charts. We are also talking about 2 color patterns, singing different ABC songs and learning what rhyming words are. Don't forget that we have spirit day on Wednesday and your child can have free dress meaning they can wear a dress, T-Shirt, or Jeans in the colors of their favorite sports team. The spirit day costs $1 and the money raised will benefit Ariana Engler, a former Trinity Student.
I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful fall weather this week!
