Learning about balls is a Blast!

We have been having so much fun the last 2 weeks during our Balls unit. We have created a ball collection, learned that a ball is a sphere, created a book about balls, & now we are learning about different sports that use balls. Enjoy pics from last week & this weeks activities!
We sorted all the balls in our collection by size. Small Medium & Large

We played a counting game with mini balls.

We each made a page for our Balls book. We are Authors & illustrators!

Last Wednesday we had 2 visitors from China! Shannon & her son David wanted to learn more about Preschool in the United States. 

We had fun making stamp pictures at the art easel

We rolled our balls through a tunnel.


In PE we are learning to Balance.

The Football center is so much fun!

We painted with balls.


Benjamin Brought a bird nest for us to look at in our Discovery Center.

We learned about Bowling and Austin brought his bowling set for us to play with.
