Our PreSchool Blog

We have been learning about the green sea turtle during our study of hawaii.  We had the opportunity to watch baby sea turtles hatch, dig their way out of their nest and scurry to the open sea!

After reading Oliver’s Milkshake today we made a healthier version…fresh berry smoothies.  Delicious!

Adding Fresh Berries

Don't forget the yogurt!

Hmmm...do I like it?

Vegetable soup was the recipe of the day today!  We read Growing Vegetable Soup, then chopped and sliced our way to a delicious pot of Veggie Soup.

Friday we read Up, Down and Around by Katherine Ayres . We discovered all kinds of different seeds just in time for Summer!  At small groups the boys and girls used their sorting skills and separated their own bag of seeds based on shape and size. Then they glued each seed onto their seed graph and was able to see how many of each seed they had. What a fun way to learn about seeds and sorting!

Summer has yet to make it’s official arrival, however, the weather has fooled us!  To kick off the season to come, we made Summer Fruit Pizza.  This delicious, kid friendly recipe was a blast to make, and even more fun to eat!

We put our lessons into practice today and REUSED our milk cartons to create a NEW bird feeder!  I would love some pictures to add to the blog of those great creations hanging in your tree!

Today we reviewed our numbers 11-20, practiced our counting and one to one correspondence skills….recycling style.  These are important activities to continue to review throughout the summer!

Today we read Jump Frog Jump by Robert Kalan.  As a group we worked on patterning with lily pads and leap frogs. We strenghtened our math skills during small groups and made our own frog patterns. Be sure to check backpacks for our fun frog craft!
