Thanks for joining us today in preschool!
For "Artsy Thursday" we began our work on a weaving project (each EC classroom in making one hula hoop) that will eventually be displayed on our playgrounds. We have a great start, but may take a little longer to complete than expected!
As of this morning, when this picture was taken, we had 9 chrysalis. As of lunch time...we have 10 chrysalis!!!
We can't wait for them to become butterflies!!!
"Hippos in a Hut" visited at the end of morning meeting today! We started with 5 hippos...
Some got a little sleepy and decided to take a nap in their hut! Our job was to figure out how many hippos were sleeping by counting how many hippos stayed out to play. How many are in the hut if 4 are left outside to play??? This is a tough concept to grasp, but we recalled what we had learned when we did this with dinosaurs, so we did a good job today.
We enjoyed chapel led by Mrs. Kuhlman's first grade class. They even gave us two beautifully decorated butterflies to hang on our windows as a reminder. A reminder that Jesus loves us so much that He died on the cross to save us from our sins.
A quick sibling pic with Parker and Charlie!
Another great morning for a little outside time...
Time for small groups (centers)!
We improved our cutting skills as we made an earth puzzle. After he/she cut his/her puzzle into pieces, each friend had to put his/her puzzle back together and glue it onto a piece of paper. Spatial awareness is an early math skill.
We not only improved spatial awareness as we put together the alphabet train, we also improved letter recognition, the order of the letters in the alphabet, and working with others! We sure heard the "ABC song" many times in preschool today!
Each friend improved hand-eye coordination and social skills and he/she could choose to create on his/her own, with a friend, or with a group using magnatiles!
Time to enjoy some fresh air on the parking lot playground!
Have a wonderful night!
