Pigs Aplenty

It's Pig Day at Preschool!

During circle time, we read this cute rhyming Pig poem.  I added some pig clip art to support my early emergent readers.  They love to use pointers and practice "reading" the poem after we have memorized it.

One of their favorite pig centers was this "Wee Little Piggies" game.  It is an electronic version of This Little Piggie Went to Market, This Little Piggie stayed home.  The goal of the game is to figure out which piggie is which, and then remember each one and put them in the correct order.  Such a challenge!

At the art center, the students painted "mud" onto their piggies with a cotton swab.  We learned that pigs roll in the mud to stay cool, and also to use the mud as a sort of sunscreen.  Everyone thought this was funny, of course!  As they painted, a bunch of them were talking about giving their pigs some pigscreen.  (Have I mentioned lately how much I love preschoolers?!)

Have fun playing and learning with your children today!
