Today we had Teriaki Chicken, Sprouted Wheat Bread, Broccoli and Bananas. Yum.
We're taking a look at our "Global Village" this week. Today we studied Africa; the animals and objects.
Earlier this week we made an covered a bowl with an African tribal print. Today we used gold ink with rubber African stamps that depicted the native animals of Africa, African clothing, housing and tools.
We also played Mancala, a traditional african marble game, discussed what kinds of animals live in Africa and learned the Swahili words for "hello" (Jambo) and "How are you?" (Habari gani?)
We sang "The Color Song" (each child stands up if they are wearing the color we sing), and "All our Friends" song.
We are working toward identfying the letter "N" by sight and sound (at the beginning of words), and the number 12. 12 assorted houshold items were arranged for our friends to practice counting out. We went on a "Circle Hunt" in the Preschool room. Many were very sucessful in finding circles and the ones that were not were trying very hard in their effort to keep up!
We also continued with our "Kangaroo" jumping game. Our friends threw a bean bag and counted how many hops it took to get to it. They put a twist on the game by stuffing a puppet in their shirts (kangaroo baby) ;)
