Our Favorite! | Aldersgate Preschool
https://aldersgatepreschool.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/our-favorite
May 8, 2015. I’ve been doing music with the kids each day this week. To to celebrate our end of the school year I took a few requests and I was also prepared for a couple of the kids favorites that needed additional supplies. Surprisingly this simple chant is a favorite:. Two little sausages (hold up two fingers). Frying in a pan (wiggle both hands). One went POP (clap hands once in front of your belly). And the other went BAM! Clap hands high over your head). Unfortunately the book is out of print but o...

Loose Parts Play – It’s easy and it’s valuable. July 9, 2015. I recently enjoyed a blog post from communityplaythings.com. That talks about loose parts play. What in the world is that? Basically it involves letting the kids play with “stuff.” While this article is written with the Early Childhood educator in mind, I hope you will take a few minutes to read about this basic and easily provided play experience. After all, you are a child’s first and best teacher! Loose Play: Inspiring Play in Young Children.

June 22, 2016. Board Games…. Not Boring at all! With this heat I thought you might all enjoy reading this post our previous Assistant Director, Shelly, posted back in 2012. Have fun playing some board games! Earlier this week, I spent some time watching our Blue am class kids as they played some simple games: Zingo. It was fun to watch them and see how much fun they were having! It caused me to wonder, how often do we enjoy board games with our own children at home? Children need to learn about. Recogniz...

I loved that the kids were practicing lots of one-to-one counting as well as writing numerals and using their pincer grasp. This non-competitive game provided lots of learning opportunities while reinforcing concepts surrounding the fall season. I thought I’d share some additional fun ways to use dice with young children.

June 18, 2015. This week was water days for our Summer Camp kids. They had a GREAT time. I must admit, though, that I got a little cranky about setting it up (and I didn’t do the majority of the work! Gathering materials, walking to the other end of the building for the key that turns on the water faucet, dealing with low water pressure, making sure the water squirters actually work . . . none of it is much fun.
