Preschool+Plus Outer Space Adventure! As we wind down our month of intergalactic excitement, our preschoolers are now ready to create their own planets for our Preschool Solar System! They paired with a partner to create a paper mache model of their planet! The children were excited to hear that this is the same process used to make a piñata! Super messy, but so fun! Thursday we plan on painting these!

Today’s Math Center we added another die to yesterday’s game! This gave us practice with combining (adding) numbers, and identifying numbers 2-12!

V is for vase, vacuum, vest, velociraptor, vegetable, video game, violin, van, vehicle, and Violet!

V is for Vase Tuesday’s we practice naming, sounds, and identification of our Letter Focus of the Week! This group rocked it!

V is for Vegetables. I admitted to the class that this was the first time I had heard this story, just like them, and absolutely loved it! The cultural experience alone was enough to win me over, but love the lesson here! Would have loved to make the recipe included!

The 3 R’s! Today’s focus was on reusing! Preschoolers learned about artist Dale Chihuly, and were in awe of his glass creations! They painted empty water bottles in hopes of using them to build Chihuly’s beautiful Chandelier piece! Stay tuned!

Earth Day Scavenger Hunt 🌎 Our Hunt included flowers, birds, trees, ants…

Preschoolers paired up to use their powers of observation & perception, and locate nature items on their list! Super team building activity! Ask your preschoolers which items on the Hunt we were not able to locate! 🌎 💧 💚

Media with Mrs. Hoglund 📚 Preschoolers loved listening to this fun story by author Candace Fleming. Mine had us making predictions about what would happen next and who would get the apple! We watched a video and discovered how to plant apple seeds, which included keeping them in the refrigerator for 3 weeks to overwinter them! We may try this! Stay tuned! 🍎 🌳 🍎

Happy Earth Day 2024 🌎 Our recent Religion lesson had us understanding how we can grow and change! Preschoolers are discovering lots of spring flowers and trees, and are understanding that plants grow, too! Today we took turns planting seeds, carefully covering them with just enough soil! The clear cup will helpfully give us a good view of what happens below the soil, as well! Preschoolers brainstormed what they thought would grow from their seeds: flowers, apple trees, grass, pineapples, bananas! We look forward to tending to our seeds and watching them grow! 🌱 🌎 🌱

V is for viper, velociraptor, Vaseline, vehicle, vegetables, van, vacuum! Awesome assortment!

Literacy focus this week is letters in our names! We love using play-do to roll, squish, shape, and twist for fine motor development and dexterity! Both needed for writing! Manipulating the dough to from letters gives our young learners the knowledge of how each letter is formed! And sensory experiences help solidity learning! Total win here!

Me Bags with Myles ❤️ Myles loves the Blackhawks and has even been to one of their games! Myles has 2 brothers (1 older, 1 younger), and a new baby sister! Myles enjoys building with Magna-tiles, too! But his favorite is Cars! He loves the book, the movie, the characters, and the cars! He showed his two faves to his friends, and they all agreed they like them too! Thanks for sharing all about you today, Myles!

Earth Week 2024 began with a surprise at how quickly our seeds have grown! Preschoolers are amazed at how everything a plant needs to grow is packed inside that little seed! These will be transplanted soon to larger containers! 🌱
