​Jelly Beans were had by all.

​Our week began by finding a bunny on the playground. A perfectly tame, friendly bunny. We were able to love on him/her the whole week. He/she has found a new home...thankfully.

​This time of the year brings boredom. We get bored with our toys and centers. I've become very creative. Now we have a Hot Wheels center. THEY LOVE IT!!
Picture

​We also have a Listening Center. Another favorite. 
Yes, it was Dr. Seuss week. We had many ways to celebrate. Of course I only captured a couple. This was Wacky Wednesday. We read the story, found wacky things in our room, and then did a WACKY thing...colored our pictures UNDER the table. They thought I was crazy.
Picture

This week we also celebrated Palm Sunday. I had to retell the story EVERY day, because they loved it so much. We even made our own palm branches and retold the story on Friday. 
Picture
Picture
OOBLECK!!!! So much fun. Corn Starch, water, and food coloring.
​What a fun sensory activity.

This week was packed full of learning. I am so impressed by these preschoolers. 

Also, rainbow week might be my new favorite theme. There is so much to do and LOTS of science experiments involved. 

Picture
We sorted Skittles a couple different ways.
​Our buddies came in handy for counting and comparing.

Some of the preschoolers are learning letters and sounds. They had quite the challenge matching uppercase and lowercase letters, then putting them in alphabetical order. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Fine motor fun with marshmallows and number identification. 
Picture
Picture
We made our own rainbows and did didn't name skills too. 
Picture
Picture

Let the science experiments begin....

We learned about rain and how it forms in the clouds.
​There were lots of Oh's and Aw's!
Picture
Picture
I called this RAINBOW VOLCANOES.
Baking soda, vinegar mixed with food coloring, and droppers. 

Picture

Look at these faces!!

The SKITTLES RAINBOW!!
Put Skittles in a circle, pour hot water in the middle, watch and be amazed.

Every day we learned about a different community helper and charted all about them. We learned about the tools they use, the vehicles they drive, and the building they work.

​The Alma Fire Department came to visit! The preschoolers LOVED it! 

We saw a real firefighter, sat in the firetruck, and got to see the lights and hear the siren.

Rest Time for our NON-Sleepers...

3/2/2021

We have a few students who no longer take naps, so instead of asking them to lay down for 1 hour...we have them lay down quietly for 30 minutes and then do a learning activity. We say to "rest your brain".
​They are working on matching uppercase and lowercase letters.

2 Weeks of SNOW...Man, have I missed you all!! 
It was a hectic ONE day back for our party. Ms. Val has been sick over our extended vacation, we have been praying for her quick recovery. Ms. Tammy will also be taking some time off because of a death in the family. We will be having several different people filling in for while they're gone; Ms. Phoebe, Ms. Suzie, Ms. Hannah, and Ms. Bre. We are thankful to have many ladies to love on our preschoolers.

With our one day of school and late start, we were only able to spend about 30 mins on our boxes. I think they turned out great and the kids had so much fun.
Picture
Picture
We had all kinds of goodies to eat. 
Picture

Picture
Passing out our Valentines took a while but the preschoolers did a great job! 
Picture
The craft turned out good. Thank you Ashley Lovercamp (Claire's Mom) for coming up with this idea.

Thank you Alexa Slivkov (Blakely's Mom) for sending the games. Pin the Heart on the Bear and Pin the Eye on the Monster were BIG hits!

These preschoolers sure did miss each other.
​They were very happy to be back together.
