This past week in Pre-K we learned about Animals in the Orchard.
Circle Time Discussion
The children learned that Porcupines have sharp quills to protect them from predators and that they are nocturnal.
The children made these adorable Porcupine Puppets and learned about their Sharp Quills. They also learned that porcupines will sneak into the orchard at night to look for food.
Picking Fruit Shapes Game
During this game the children were Taking Turns & Rolling the Dice to Sort by shape and put in correct basket.
The children also used their fine motor skills by using the tongs to pick up the shapes to move them to the baskets.
Sneaky Raccoon
Number Recognition and Taking Turns
During this game the children would take turns rolling the dice and identitying the number. They would look to see if the raccoon was hiding behind that tree number card. They were so excited 😆 when they would find the raccoon behind the tree.🌳
We did this Fun Community Challenge a song together!
Birds are the only animal with feathers.
Bugs can be helpful in a orchard or they can bring harm to an orchard.
Raccoons are nocturnal animals that sneak into orchards at night to eat the fruit.
Nuts are an important part of a squirrel’s diet. A Squirrel lives in a nest, hollowed out tree trunk or an under ground tunnel.

The wild raccoon?
Do you know the wild raccoon?
( crawl on all fours)
He eats a juicy apple.
( pretend to eat)
He sleeps all day.
(pretend to sleep)
He tiptoes at night.
( tiptoe around the room)

Raccoon Masks
The children were excited to make their Raccoon masks and tails! They were even more excited to wear them with their friends and have their picture made.
