Last week of preschool 2014-2015

 May 27th and 28th.
I don't know how we got here so quickly?  We are down to our last two days of preschool!  During our final days we discussed all the colors of the rainbow and played with a lot of colorful paint.

Making finger print rainbows:




Mixing colors to make new colors:  Red and Yellow make Orange!  Red and Blue make Purple!
 Color review:


 We talked more in depth about the color blue and made these fun blue kites to fly around.


capturing their personalities.
 Our last day!  The kids have the morning routine down and executed the weather, calendar, and pledge of a allegiance beautifully.




We cut and pasted our very last "Is it" assignment and practiced counting to the number ten.  These smarty pants can count WAY past 10 though.
 We played a fun colorful cookie game where the kids each got to buy a cookie and we counted from 10 to 0 and then played again where they had to test their memory and see if they could figure out which cookie I had taken off the tray. 
 More paint!!  Yellow and Blue make Green!



 A snack and outside fun.  We played some of the games we had played throughout the year.  Red Light Green Light, Hide and Seek, and Duck, duck, goose.  These three love games! 


To end our wonderful year we had all the mom's/teachers come to help celebrate.  The kids had each prepared a special show and tell.  They picked their favorite letter of the Alphabet and colored a picture of the item they were sharing.

Eisley's favorite letter is E.  Not only is it the first letter of her name but also the first letter of one of her favorite stuffed animals Ellie the Elephant.
 Chris's favorite letter is T for T-Rex!
 Ryan chose the letter "W" and brought in his wallet to show us.

 Each mom/teacher presented to their child a certificate for a great year of preschool!

In My Garden

April 28th and 29th: Flowers, Plants, and Worms.

We went through our regular morning routine with the calendar, weather, pledge, and the imagination box question that asked, "What is your favorite part of a plant"?  Chris said the stem, Ryan answered, roots and Eisley said, leaves...they are pretty.  We got to talk all about the plants and flowers.

Reviewing our letters Q, R,and U.


 For snack we stayed with our topic for the day and made flowers out of fruit.  They had fun exploring new ways to use the fruit and creating fun flowers.  Plus it was yummy to eat when we were done designing.




We checked out our green house and discovered that not much was happening with the beans.  Still no sprouts.
 Writing practice and review of letters the oval and our sight words he and she.


 Colors:
 Question?  Do you like worms?  why or why not? They all agreed they did and they all different reasons why.  Ryan: Because they feed our plants.  Eisley: because they go slow. Christopher: because there some long ones.  We continued to talk all about worms!!  They wiggled and moved as best they could like a worm.  It was challenging with no hands and arms but they did it.
 In my Garden you would see....
Berries and Pumpkins
Grapes
Watermelons
 We stayed with our theme for snack once again and ate worms in dirt. 


 The kids made their very own gardens using shapes to create different veggies.  Orange triangles for carrots, green circles for cabbage, red circles for tomatoes, green straight lines for celery and a brown circle for a potatoes.  Some were growing above the the ground and some in the ground.


 We ended our preschool week with Show and Tell.  They each brought a toy that represented the letters Q,R,or U.  Christopher brought in a Robot, Ryan brought his Remote to a remote control car, and Eisley shared her Unicorn toy.
The weeks are flying by with these little ones and they are learning and growing so much!
