"Little Girl School" (August through October)

This year we are doing a preschool co-op with a few other kids.  I wasn't sure how it would work but it's been a lot of fun.  When we first got the group together there were only little girls so Lydia started calling it "Little Girl School"... however we did get one little boy who joined us.  Lydia especially loves to have it at our house.
We did a bear theme one week (when we were learning letter B).  We did patterns with our counting bears and did a "bear hunt" for the letter B.

and danced with our teddy bears to "Teddy Bear's Picnic".

We even had a picnic with our teddy bears!

The kids really get along pretty well and especially love their free time to play together at the end.

The other moms come up with lots of fun ideas and activities to do!

The next time I taught we talked about the grocery store (for G).  The kids loved grocery shopping for items with a letter G on them.

We even graphed goldfish.

One of the days we got to go on a field trip to Trader Joe's!  The kids got to see all the behind the scenes stuff and even ring items up at the register.

Every one came home with a goody bag full of treats... even the moms!

They've also gone on a field trip to the pumpkin patch at Gilcrease Orchard.  That was lots of fun!

Lydia is so patient with crafts and loves to do fun things with her preschool friends.

We have had a fun time with our preschool group so far this year.  It will be exciting to see what else we get to do!
