In a fun preschool lesson this week, science and friendship collide! The kids learned that we could mix colors to create new ones! We tied this lesson in with this month’s character theme: friendship. Each child met a new friend as we conducted the experiment. We talked about how we are all beautiful on our own, but when we form new friendships, something beautiful comes out of it (aka the new color created!).
The Preschoolers had a fun “red carpet” event today where they received an award from their teachers!

To help us with correct scissor grip, we put smiley face stickers on our thumbs. The goal is to keep our thumbs to the sky, always looking to see that smiley face!
This week was “bug week”! Each day the students learned about a different bug. All of the activities and snacks for the day revolved around that specific bug! Check out these thematic lessons below!
Measuring with gummy worms
At group time, I demonstrated how a bee goes from flower to flower drinking their nectar and collecting pollen to bring back to the bee hive.
I then had the kids hold out their hands to act as flowers.
Spring has arrived, and we have started learning about bugs and plant life! We read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and retold the story with pictures cards. We then acted out the butterfly life cycle!
Butterfly Life Cycle Part 1: The mama butterfly lays her egg on a leaf.
Butterfly Life Cycle Part 2: A caterpillar emerges from the egg and is out searching for food.
Butterfly Life Cycle Part 3: The caterpillar wraps itself in a cocoon or chrysalis.
Butterfly Life Cycle Part 4: After a couple weeks, the caterpillar breaks from the cocoon and….
…turns into a beautiful butterfly!
