L is for Leaf

Wow where has the time go!  I cannot believe how far behind I am.  The preschoolers have already learned three letters and I still haven't posted.  I apologize to all my parents and followers.  Before fall approached us, the preschoolers learned about leaves.  The letter of the week was Ll (which fit perfect with our theme), the shape of the week was a triangle, number was #2 and the color was red (rojo).   We also L's with leaves glued onto them to introduce the letter and the sound.  Along with learning about triangles - we made a triangle person who of course was made out of all triangles.

We read a book called "Windy Day" which taught us some of our opposites!  We learned how leaves get to the ground - they either fall down or the WIND blows them!  We pretended to be the wind and blow our leaves everywhere!

 




 
 
We named some of the colors leaves can turn into.  I asked them what it would be like if we mixed all those colors together that they said to see what color we could make! 

 
On Friday, we read the book "There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves".  We glued the pictures in her belly based on the sequence of the story.
