Hh, Triangle, Houses & Homes

A "triangle" show & tell kicked off our final preschool day. The kids shared a triangle shaped rock and toys with triangle shaped parts, like noses, spikes, & fangs. It's always fun to share!

We had a group discussion about the types of homes people live in. The kids talked about how they each live in a house but all of our houses are different. Some are tall and some are long. When I asked who they live with though, they all said, " My mom!"

Then we talked about where different animals live and played animal charades. Each child picked a picture from the stack (keeping it a secret) and acted it out for the others to guess. Then we put the animal in it's correct home on the poster.

After practicing writing the letter H, we paused to eat a snack: muffins on triangle napkins with Hot cocoa. (Except Ella had hot chocolate. She told us only old men drink cocoa. Cute!)

We learned a big word - prediction. We predicted if some household items would float or sink in a tub of water. There were a few surprises but everyone predicted the pig bath toy would float and they were right.

We finished up by creating a town from blocks. Some built houses and buildings while others built roads.

We packed a lot of fun into one short week!
