All About Preschool

Mom got to go to preschool and learn all about it today. Once a month parents join the kids for the day. The first thing Seth does when he gets to school is write his name on the attendance sheet. He takes this job very seriously.
The kids then do large motor activities. They walk on a balance beam, jump on trampolines, spin on sit-and-spins, balance balls, make shoots from boards, and draw on dry erase boards. It was exhausing just to watch :-)
The kids then make and eat their snack. They have small pitchers so they can pour their own drinks, serving spoons and bowls to serve their own food, and use their best manners. They then do center activities where they choose to play puzzles, blocks, light brights, games, kitchen, sorting games, drawing, etc. Finally, they have circle time where they sing songs, hear stories, and do learning activities. They normally also play on the school playground but didn't do it today with parents. Each child has a job for the day such as weather checker person, line leader, clean up bellringer, etc. Seth was the line leader today.
