We have been having fun with spring activities and talking all about bunnies, eggs, bugs, and flowers, even if we had to pretend it was nice and warm outside! We sponge painted some Easter eggs, made some cut spring chicks hatching from their eggs and even counted spring flowers into eggs for others to find and count!
March has been all about rainbows, leprechauns, pots of gold, and shamrocks! We made fun snacks, created fun art projects and even mixed up some scientific luck potions!
We had a fun day at school while learning about letter T! Students got to bring their teddy bears to school and they got to join in on our fun activities! They played with us in centers, listened to story, and got to join in our dancing! We even had them join us for small groups where we worked on writing the letter T, sorting and graphing our gummy bear snack and worked on fine motor skills while we laced our teddy bear cards! It was a fun special day in preschool!
What does a plant look like? What does it need to grow? We learned about the parts of a plant, the plant life cycle and the difference between fruits and vegetables during a visit from the Cincinnati Museum Center. We rolled up our sleeves and spent some time digging in the dirt and planted our own seed to take home to add to our growing garden!
We celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday last week in the preschool room and each day brought a fun, new, crazy adventure! We hopped on Pop and Pretended to be the Cat in the Hat, we rhymed and counted and learned about keeping our earth healthy, we even planted our very own Lorax seed! I think our most favorite day was Wacky Wednesday for sure though! The room had crazy, wacky things at every turn like the cubby tags upside down, a cup on the door handle, our soap was in the tissue box, and furniture was all moved all over the place! Our activities for small groups were even wacky! We played “WHACK” the letter with a flyswatter, we read a Christmas story in the tower, and we colored pictures upside down underneath the table! It was an awesome week of fun, silly activities and lots of sensory learning fun too!
On Tuesday the K Prep students continued their Dr. Seuss study with another popular book, The Lorax. We learned how important it is to take care of OUR earth and some simple ways to help keep it healthy. We started by planting a green bean seed and learned how to take care of it so it grows healthy and strong.
The K Prep class celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday this week! On Monday we read Horton Hears a Who, and created a truffula tree treat and craft!
The children have been working so hard throughout this year to create a variety of masterpieces using different mediums. We are looking forward to sharing them all with you on March 9th! The “Art Gallery” will be open from 5:30-7:00, come and enjoy all the children works anytime! As a reminder, there are no classes that day in order to give the teachers time to prepare for the annual event.
