Teacher Mom

Today was my first day teaching preschool. I'll teach for four consecutive weeks and then the third mom in our group will teach. We learned about seasons today, specifically about fall and about rain. We also learned the letter F and the number 5. It was a lot of fun and kept me on my toes. We had circle time where we sang and talked about F and 5 and seasons. We colored a printout about the letter F where they got to try tracing the F. We read "Drippy the Raindrop". Then we took cotton balls and put them in water to discuss how they feel different when wet and how that is like clouds that fill up with rain. Then we squeezed the rain out of our "clouds". Then PLAY TIME! Then we had a snack and our second circle time. We sang more songs and read "The Rainy Day Slug"

(read this for a total gross out bytheway). Then the kids (well 2 out of 3 wanted to participate) got into (new) garbage bags and had "slug races". Then we had a craft where we glued cotton balls on paper to be our clouds. We used our fingers to stamp blue raindrops and then used glitter to make the water below the cloud. Then PLAY TIME!

These are some of the websites that have been suggested to me for resources. Any more ideas would be awesome. This is way too much fun!
