Circus of Colors and Shapes

This week was our Circus of Colors and Shapes!  The students rotate through a series of centers and reinforce their knowledge of colors and shapes...We had one of our teachers dress up like a clown and take pictures.

Bean Bag Toss Center!  The students throw a bean bag and then tell what shape it landed on.

Tightrope Center!  The students pull a shape card and then walk on the tight rope!

I Spy Center!  The Students match the circus pictures to the correct plate

This is their sticker chart for each center.  Once they complete an area they put a sticker on their chart.  I bring in parents to help run my centers but if you don't want to do that you could do a couple of centers each day and make the unit a week long.

Face Painting Center!  I paint shapes on their face with washable paint and then take their picture.

Having fun on the tight rope!  Don't fall off....

We end our circus with popcorn and ice cream that make into clowns with m&ms!  Sedley says the circus of shapes and colors was super fun and she loved the snack the best!

Hello Everyone!

I am still not very good at this whole Blogging thing but Liz told me I had to tell about my 50's Volunteer event which was this past Friday. Our teachers put on a Volunteer Breakfast for all of our WONDERFUL volunteers! And part of my job as a part-time Administrative Assistant is to organize and decorate the event...from food, and songs to decorations and gifts the theme this year was The 50's! In past years we've had a Western Dude Ranch, The Disney Gang and  Pirates! Well, from the teachers singing "to know, know, know them is to love, love, love them" and  the Lollipop song it was a hit! I'll try to post the songs in the next couple of days so you can see them! Until then I'll leave you with a few photos....

Western Round-Up

Happy Sunday!  Kim and I are getting ready to present thematic units to fellow teachers on Friday!  Wow!  Do I have a new appreciation for presenters.  I am amazed at how much work it is and what a blast it is!  The big thing is knowing when to stop..I think I could add new elements forever.  One of the units we are showcasing is our Western Round-Up where we collaborate with the other preschool teachers in our department.  We each take an element of a dude ranch and the kids travel from room to room dressed as cowboys and cowgirls and experience life on the range!  We have a rootin' tootin' good time!  Our unit spells out how we turn our rooms into thematic wonderlands and execute each element.
