While learning about the letter “x”, we decided since we made a xylophone out of the letter “x”, we would actually learn about the xylophone and how to play music with it! We sang different songs, such as, “Row Row Row Your Boat” and “Do You Know the Muffin Man?” and our friends practiced playing along with the xylophone. Since we didn’t have enough xylophones for all of our friends to play at once, we took turns and those who weren’t playing a xylophone got to shake a maraca. We were just like a real band! Ms. Joanie would have been so proud 🙂

In Preschool Prep, we were able to explore the inside of different fruits and vegetables!  First, we made predictions of what we might find inside each fruit or vegetable. Then, we cut them open and made observations about the foods.  We were able to try a taste of each type of fruit and vegetable at snack time!

The lemons were so sour!!

In preschool prep we have been learning all about seeds! Specifically, how they grow and what they need to grow into beautiful plants.   We have planted pumpkin, corn, green bean, sugar snap pea and radish seeds! We are seeing the changes first hand.  Each vegetable plant has sprouted and is continuing to grow as we take care of them.

Each child  also planted their own grass seed in a plastic cup. We added silly pictures of each student to the outside of their cup.  With the grass growing on top, it looks like they are growing green hair!

We had a visitor in our classroom last week! Ms. Katelyn brought in her pet ferret, Swiper for us to look at and pet!

We have lots of great bakers in our preschool prep classroom! We all worked together to make homemade chocolate chip cookies that we were able to eat for snack! Yumm 🙂
