We had a great day in preschool!
1 quick reminder...
Week of the Young Child at Zion is May 2nd - 6th! There are fun activities being planned for the week. Start planning now for the dress up days to help us celebrate:
- Movie Monday…PJ day!
- Taco Tuesday…Silly Sock day!
- Workout Wednesday…Dress like your favorite sports character!
- Thankful Thursday…Favorite Color day!
- Favorite Book Friday…Dress like your favorite storybook character!
We were excited to jump right in and get to work at our pet store! We were also excited to see that some new pets and grooming tools had arrived over the weekend! Dramatic play enables children to role play real life situations!
Carter and Connor improved hand-eye coordination and problem solving skills as they built with Interlox!
While others were enjoying free choice time, some friends spent time on his/her April interview. He/she told me all about the story of Jesus filling the nets (our Bible story from last week) while I took dictation. He/she then drew a net and filled that net with little fish (stickers...tiny ones to improve small motor control)!
To wrap up morning meeting we voted on a name for our pet store! Our 2 choices:
"Palace Pets" or "Kid's Critters"
"Palace Pets" ran away with the vote! This graph was easy for us to see that "Palace Pets" had the most votes!
While the skies were still blue, we enjoyed large motor time outside before going to chapel!
Pastor Reitz led our chapel service today! He read to us from 1 John..."God is love"! You don't have to use a lot of words for something to be important. These are 3 of the most important words you will ever hear. We were reminded to always take care of the things we love!
For science time today we continued working on our ladybug journals. Most of our larva have moved on to stage 3, pupa. We looked at models and our tiny pupa as each friend drew a picture of stage 3 (pupa) of our ladybugs. Our pupa won't look like much is happening, but much is taking place inside. In about 7 - 10 day they will emerge as stage 4 (adult ladybugs). We are excited and anxious to see what that looks like as metamorphosis takes place!
Time for small groups (centers)!
With Mrs. Dose, each friend observed his/her 2 bags of beans and drew his/her observations for "day 9" in his/her own "Bean Journal"! We will continue to watch and journal our beans for another week. Some aren't doing much but growing mold, while a couple are sprouting and growing!
Oh no!!! Our caterpillar needed some help being put back together! His body is numbered from 1 - 20, our job was to put him back in order from 1 - 20 or 20 - 1! Success for some was leading the group, asking for the next number. Success for others was finding the next number and placing it next in our "caterpillar puzzle".
And...small group #3 is TOP SECRET! Some of you just might get to see what we were up to the end of next week!
And the clouds were rolling in as we ventured outside for large motor time before lunch!
