Today, we are going on a fun adventure with Murray and his friend Ovejita to a special place called preschool! Preschool is where kids start learning new things, make friends, and have lots of fun playing and exploring.
When Murray arrives at preschool, he is super excited! The first thing he does is put his name on the board to show he is here. This helps everyone know who is ready to have a great day of learning and playing together.
Next, it’s circle time! All the kids sit together to read stories and sing songs. This is a great time to learn how to listen and talk with friends. Murray learns that if he has a question, he should raise his hand. This helps everyone take turns and be polite.
Murray meets a new friend who tells him about their first day at school. Making friends is important because it teaches us how to share and play nicely with others. Sharing is caring, and it helps us all get along.
Preschool has lots of cool places to explore! Murray visits the blocks center where kids are building a tall tower. He learns to ask nicely if he wants to use a block, which is a great way to show respect and kindness.
At the art center, Murray gets to draw and paint. This is a fun way to use his imagination and make beautiful pictures. Art helps us express ourselves and learn new things.
In the discovery center, Murray and his friends look at caterpillars and learn how they turn into butterflies. This is a fun way to learn about nature and science. Asking questions and exploring is how we learn more about the world!
After all the fun, it’s time for a snack! Murray helps by counting napkins and cups for everyone. This helps him practice counting and learn about sharing. During snack time, everyone says “Bon appétit” to show they are thankful for their food. Yummy snacks give us energy to play and learn!
Murray’s day at preschool is filled with fun, learning, and making new friends. He learns how to talk with others, share, and explore new things. Preschool is a magical place where every day is a chance to learn something new and make happy memories with friends.
Friendship Bracelet Making: Gather some colorful beads and string to make friendship bracelets. As you make the bracelets, think about the friends you have and how you can be a good friend to them. Ask yourself, “What are some nice things I can do for my friends?” Share your bracelet with a friend and talk about why friendship is important.
Sharing and Caring Game: Play a game where you take turns sharing toys or art supplies. Each time you share, say something kind to the person you are sharing with. After the game, discuss how sharing made you feel and why it’s important to share with others. Ask, “How does sharing help us make friends?”
Nature Exploration Walk: Go on a short walk outside with a grown-up and look for caterpillars, butterflies, or other interesting things in nature. Bring a notebook to draw what you see. Think about how caterpillars turn into butterflies and ask questions like, “What other changes happen in nature?” Share your drawings and discoveries with your classmates.
