Our First Day--Letter A

It was our first day of Preschool!!

Miss Hiedi was in charge and we learned all about the Letter A!

We put our hands up high in a point for our BIG A, and we made a circle over our heads for little a.

Then we went on an apple hunt and got to find a BIG A and a little a. We strung them on a necklace and read a poem about picking apples!

The kids loved taking a turn picking things out of a bag that start with a. We found an airplane, apple, and an apron. We talked about the three different sounds A makes, and it was so fun!

 

Just before snack time we wrote everyone's name on a place mat with squeeze cheese. This way they could see their name and decide if they had an A in their name.

We had crackers and cheese, and some traced their names with their fingers in the cheese!

Miss Hiedi also showed the kids how an apple slicer works, and talked about the different colors apples can come be.  We tried all colors of apples, and even had dried apples!

We colored our apple coloring sheets with red, green, or yellow!

 

Then it was time to go play outside! 

 

While the kids were playing outside, we snuck a picture to post here, and also for our place mats! 

 Robby was our special person today, so he got to wear the special ribbon we gave him during Circle Time.

After a fun day of learning and playing, we went inside for a little more coloring. With stickers and markers, we decorated our place mats so we will have them for weeks to come!

Then while waiting for the moms, we played bean bag toss.

Miss Hiedi asked, "Who's wearing pink?" She then got to throw the bean bag, and each child got to find someone else who was wearing pink to pass the bean bag to.

 

Then all the moms came. It was a fun first day!!!
