Summer preschool







I decided it would be fun for Isabella if a few friends got together and started a summer preschool one day/week. Today was our first day and the theme was rainbows. I stole all of the ideas from this super homeschool mom. Thank you, thank you.
We started off with a "hello" song and then read a book about rainbows. The kids then did their rainbow craft and decided they'd had enough crafting and went outside to jump on the trampoline. Once they were sufficiently sweaty, they came back in for the alphabet game which lasted all of 2 minutes. We moved on to the water and food coloring activity which they loved, followed by snack time and more jumping on the trampoline.
I learned a few things today.....kids just want to play. I planned several other activities but it was obvious they weren't interested so Isabella and I did a few of them this afternoon.
Preschool should be fun while also being educational, but having fun is really all that matters when you are 3.
