Welcome to Our New Adventure: Starting Preschool!

✨ Hello, Little Explorers! ✨

Today, we are going to begin an exciting adventure together—starting preschool! Let’s gather around in our cozy circle and get ready to make new friends and learn new things!

🌈 Story Time: The Magic School Bus

To kick off our lesson, let’s warm up with a special story about a magical bus that takes children on exciting adventures!

📚 The Magic School Bus Rides Again

In this story, Ms. Frizzle takes her students on a journey where they discover that school is not just in the classroom. They ride through rainbows, explore the jungle, and even visit outer space!

• What did the bus teach the children?
• What kind of adventures do you want to go on in preschool?

Feel free to use your imagination! After the story, we will share our ideas about adventures we hope to have this year!

🎨 Let's Make a Friendship Garden

After our story, we’re going to create a Friendship Garden!

🌻 Supplies Needed:

• Colorful paper flowers
• Crayons and markers
• Glue or tape
• A big piece of paper for our garden base

😊 Activity Steps:

1. Draw Your Flower: Each of you will draw and decorate your own flower.
2. Write Your Name: On the stem of the flower, write your name so everyone knows which flower is yours!
3. Add to the Garden: Once you are done, we will glue or tape your flowers down on our big garden.

🌼 Discussion:

As we make our flowers, let’s talk about what makes us happy and what we like about starting preschool.

🎶 Sing a Welcome Song

To wrap up our lesson, we will come together and sing a fun welcome song! One we might sing is:

🎵 "If You're Happy and You Know It"

(With a twist!)

• If you’re excited to be here, clap your hands! 👏
• If you’re excited to make friends, stomp your feet! 🦶

This will help us all feel even more ready and excited for the fun times ahead!
