A shopping we will go

Our Preschool Palace Lesson  today was fun with a grocery theme.  

Some of the things we did:

Field trip: Grocery store. 

A grocery store can teach young people how to work within a budget and learning to buy what is on the list. You can help young students understand how to make wise food choices in a grocery store. Before the visit, review types of food items with the children and categorize them into either healthful or unhealthful choices. When you take your trip to the store, give the children a list of foods and have them choose a healthful example.  Option: At the end of the trip, allow each child to choose a healthful snack to buy. 

Activity: 100 card. While many preschoolers cannot count to 100, it is a skill required by the end of Kindergarten. This activity is just an introduction to higher numbers, illustrations of sets of 10’s (counting by 10’s also required in Kindergarten). This activity also reinforces fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, color brown, square shape, 1 to 1 correspondence, and provides a tasty snack after completion!
Use Chex cereal as the counter pieces to fill in each square on the 100 chart. (found on the November month curriculum.)
