Chasing Small Minds

4th of July Theme Ideas 4th of July is celebrated every year in America. It is the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Some preschoolers are aware of this holiday/day while others are not. It is our job as educators to educate and expose them to history. They may ask you questions like what is 4th of July? Why are people buying fire works? etc....I have piled up a list of some great activities that you could do in the classroom during 4th of July to engage and continue the discussion.  ART ACTIVITIES   Q-tip Fireworks or Finger-paint Fire Works Materials Needed: Paint or finger paint, butcher paper or white construction paper  Coffee Filler Fireworks Materials Needed: Markers (Red, Blue), Coffee Fillers, Water Spray bottle  Give each child a coffee filler ask them to draw lines or circles and then have them spray it away. Let it dry and wallahhhh. Salt and Glue Fireworks Materials: Black construction paper,  Salt, white school glue, red and blue food colorin

I created these Ice Cream Clip Arts for personal and commercial use. It's a 53 piece set for both sellers and teachers hoping to make fun learning resources for their summer themes. They are also moveable for digital or distance learning experiences. The ice cream cart is also included in the set. Head over to Chasingpreschool TPT store for this cute resource.

While doing my clothes study this past school year, I realized I couldn't find any free clothes related math activities. I decided to make my own cards to share with others. The children used clothes pin to pin the numbers after counting. If you have linking chains, mini erasers, counters, or marbles you may use those as well to cover up the numbers.
