🍪 IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE 🍪
Teaching Preschool is a lot like the book, If You Give A Mouse Cookie, by Laura Joffe Numeroff. There are lots of distractions and moving parts throughout our day.
The Quarter Notes love to read this classic book. We had fun pretending to make cookies with homemade playdough (don't tell the kids that they're strengthening their hands!), gluing beads or sprinkles onto paper cookies, and using props to retell the story during circle time (Sequencing).
The children used their pointer fingers to write letters in salt. It was also pretty fun to stir with a spoon!
The Math table had plastic trays wrapped with tin foil and a talking cookie jar with numbered cookies. The numbers helped with numerical order and recognition. A teacher was present and reminded everyone to take turns and share the cookies.
Handwriting Without Tears wooden curves and pieces are a fun and non stressful way to make letters. Everyone enjoyed making the first letter of their name or that of a family member.
