Q for Quilt, Quack, Queen, Quick, Questions and More!

Another fun day at preschool with letter Q!

We did a focus on Quilts this time around... 

And for circle time we got to sit on a quilt!

During attendance we practiced answering our Questions!

 

 Miss Jill would pick a who, what, when, etc. question for each child! 

 

We talked about being LOUD and QUIET. 

We talked about how during prayer we're quiet, and other times we have to be quiet too. 

We did a little dancing and froze when the music stopped. We danced slowly when it was soft, and crazy when it was loud! A good way to get some wiggles out!

Then we revisited our Q track.

This time we talked about SLOW animals and QUICK animals. Each child got to pretend to be a certain animal, and of course we yelled go QUICK when we wanted them to speed up!

Cheeteas, snails and roadrunners were some of our favorites! 

Then after our Q song...

We got to do our own quilts!! 

We talked about sewing, and how it plays peek-a-boo with the other side.

I thought it was going to be hard, but the kids did great!

They had a fun time lacing their cards!

Concentrating!

Then we talked about a new letter Q...QUAIL!

This boy Quincy finds a family of quails and helps save them.

It's a short clip on YouTube from Sesame Street here.

Then we stopped it on the Q, so we could see what it looks like again.

We took turns tracing and writing our own letter Q's.

We made up a little rhyme about going around and out, and around and down...

Then we had a special presentation about QUEENS!

I had pulled up pictures online of famous queens.... Queen Elizabeth, Queen Ester, Queen Elsa...

And told the children about queens and what they do.

Then we lined up and went to our special quilting room!

Each child made his/her own quilt...

In the squares they drew their family, birthday month, favorite color, hobbies, etc.

They turned out great!

Then we got some more wiggles out with our Quick RACES!!

 

We lined up at the START, and each child got an animal they had to pretend to be.

Then we said, ready, set go...and they ran down the hall as fast as they could being that animal. 

Snack time!

Mac n' Cheese!...lots of smiles!

Then we did a little more coloring and stickers and patterns...

And counted a few beans...

And read some stories about quilts!

 

And spent the last 30 minutes playing outside...lots of chalk...sorry!!

:-)

 

We love preschool!!
