Ice Cream Volcanoes! 🍦

W is for Worm! This one had us practicing positional words; such as over, under, in between, and beside! Each preschool had a “Walter the worm” that they used to follow directions!

Our seeds have sprouted! The children were just amazed this morning after seeing their plants! The clear plastic cup gave us opportunity to talk about parts of a plant, and how to care for them! Preschoolers were looking forward to caring for these at home! 

Preschoolers are tending their “garden” in the sensory table this week!

W is for Woody, watch, water, whale, wolf, wallet, wand, wheels, wrench, and waffle cone! Super awesome!

Media with Mrs. Hoglund   Spring is here! 🐥 🌸. Mrs. Hoglund introduced us to a fun character named Peep the chick! We enjoyed listening to a story and watching a video about Peep and his friends!

Baby Chicks visit preschool! Mr. R’s science class’ baby chicks hatched last week! Mrs. Hoglund was just amazing to bring some down in their brooder box for us to see! So special! 🐥

Me Bag with Siobhan 💕. Preschoolers are constantly surprising us with their skills, stories, and silliness! But this one was the biggest! Siobhan shared a pic of her new baby due later this year! Congratulations to the Ziemann family!

We love integrating literature to our preschool curriculum! This week’s fairy tale has us integrating our Religion, STEM, science, math, and literacy lessons! We look forward to comparing/contrasting several different versions of our classic this week! Today’s read gave us a great intro to Jack and the Giant!

“What is a seed?” This week’s science focus is all about plants and how they grow! Preschoolers learned the 3 things a plant needs to grow. They referenced our vegetable plants and recalled how they were all started by a seed! The children sorted and categorized items by either seed or not a seed!

How Plant Grow Write the Room 🌱 ☀️ 💦 

What an amazing job this group did of copying and writing words today! We discussed letter formation, letter placement, spacing between letters, and letter size! Copying words and material is a functional skills, which involves visual motor, spatial awareness, and fine motor skills!

Look out kindergarten! Here they come!❤️

Scholastic My BIG World taught us how to be Earth Day Detectives! We discovered things we can do to help planet Earth! Each Scholastic issue includes Dance Breaks which are a big hit with the preschoolers! We practice gross motor, self-regulation, and calming skills!

Earth Week! Lots of opportunities to practice fine motor control/dexterity that we need for writing: cutting, coloring, assembling!

This week’s Earth Week inspired our Dale Chihuly Chandelier art! Preschoolers learned about the 3 R’s this week! They reused plastic water bottles to create this amazing sculpture!
