We themed the preschool lesson around turtles so of course we had to read the Tortosie and the Hare. We even watched a new movie called Tortose Vs. Hare where they rematch. It was cute.
After the movie we had our own turtle races.
Rachel won most times. She figured out how to hold the string high for it to slide.
Then we read the Dr. Seuss classic Yertle the Turtle and used blocks as our turtles to see how many we could stack before they all fell over.
Ashley got 6 high
Rachel got 7
They painted a section of an egg cartoon to turn it into a turtle I didn't get a final picture but they were really cute. Rachel is learning how to mix white with other colors to make a different shade and to mix brown or other colors to change the tone of the colors.
We read a non fiction book and talked about the different types of turtles and tortoises and even learned 2 new words; extinct and endangered.
The last activity was finding the sea turtles eggs that were buried in our backyard that needed to go back to the beach.
