Our academic year started the first week of August and we kicked the year off right with our Back to School theme, followed by All About Me, and Colors. We implemented share days, so the kids can bring something special from home to share with the group. The Owlets think it's pretty cool and they do a great job of sharing their treasures. I try to ask questions, one of them being "Where did you get your ____________?" The answer...from all of them...is always...."From my home!" Well, yes you are correct, that treasure did come from your home!! I love conversations between 3 year olds...they are the best!
Finally, we have made it to Fall...my favorite time of year. The temperatures aren't as miserable, although, I would welcome a day in the low 70's compared to the mid 80's...the leaves are turning, pumpkin patches are opening, the wonderful smell of pumpkin is filling the air...oh so many reasons it's my favorite time of year!! I also think the best preschool themes rear their heads in the fall...apples, pumpkins, popcorn..This week we are doing our Apple theme! This is probably one of my favorite themes during the year. I only wish there was an apple orchard close by so that I could take the Owlets to pick their own apples! That would be a wonderful adventure for us!
This is our Apple sensory tub. It is full of oatmeal, cinnamon sticks, and plastic apples. I added spoons, scoops, and bowls.
Welcome to The Owls Nest Orchard!
This is quickly becoming a favorite table tray activity. Sticking cloves into an apple...smells amazing!
Dramatic Play Apple Orchard. I added an apple tree so customers can pick their own apples, added baskets of plastic apples, jugs labeled "Apple Cider", a pretend apple pie, bowls, cups, forks, and a cash register with scale.
