Animals

Hailey made a cute hat and decorated the letter H with hearts for preschool at Audrey’s. She loves her hat.
For Joy School, the color of the day was White. *Side note: I think the color of the day is pointless because it doesn’t fit well with the rest of the lesson*

The real focus of the lesson was on animals since they are a part of nature. We did a riddle game with flannel board pictures to introduce animals. The last animal we had was a bird. From there we talked about how birds migrate and that it’s hard finding food in the winter. So, we made bird feeders out of pine cones to help them out. The kids enjoyed this.

They found their own pine cone and put peanut butter on it themselves (I helped after they tried). Then they rolled it in sunflower seeds. Hanging them up was a little tricky and messy. The yarn kept slipping off.

Here's Luc showing his off.

Chloe took our picture by our pine cones in the tree.

After that we talked about what animals give us and learned a silly song “Oh Cow, Oh Cow.” This song and activity used a lot of pictures. I doubt many kids from Hailey's generation will know what a flannel board is so here's a picture of ours.

Then we finished off the day with frosted animal crackers.
