What a Fun Day!

We had a wonderful day today.  Thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and others who were able to attend our party.  We've had a terrific year and this day was the perfect ending.  Have a terrific summer!

What a nice day!

We decided to spend as much time outside today as possible.  We spent all of our play time to explore in the outdoor classroom.  We had a new water pump and ball ramp to experiment with.  It was a lot of fun.  I've added a few pictures below.

 

Story:  We read The Night Before Summer Vacation.  A family is preparing to go on vacation.  They pack many things into their car to get ready.  This book is written in the fashion of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas so there was some familiarity to the story.   We talked about places that we would like to go to for our summer vacation.

Large Group:  We practiced our program for tomorrow one more time.

Snacks:  The morning class had crackers, cheese, apples and juice brought by Maisie.  The afternoon class had Teddy Grahams and juice brought by Hanley.  Thank you!

Notes were sent home regarding the Last Day Party which will be held tomorrow.  See you then!

Our last days...

Circle Time:  We are winding up our preschool activities for the year.  Due to the nice weather, we will be spending as much time outdoors as possible.  We received our new water pump and ball ramps over the weekend which were purchased with the funds from our Art Show Fundraiser.  We are planning to have everything in the outdoor classroom for tomorrow so that the children will have the opportunity to play with them.  Thank you!

Story:  Our story was Blueberries for Sal.  This classic story always makes me think of summer.  Sal and her mother are visiting Blueberry Hill to pick blueberries.  Sal wants to eat them, but mother wants to can them for the winter.  A bear and her cub are also visiting the hill to eat blueberries so that they can get fat for the winter.  When Sal and the cub wander off, things get a little mixed up.  Ask you child to tell you what happens at the end.

Small Group:  We completed two more pages in "My Book".  These will come home tomorrow.

Art:  Because we have so many things to send home at this time, we did not want to start another project.  So, we put playdough on the table with a few rollers, patterned hammers, and tools.

Large Group:  We went to the outdoor classroom.

Snacks:  The morning class had apples, Goldfish and juice brought by Andie.  The afternoon class had Chex-mix and juice brought by Rowan.  Thank you!

Our Colorful Days

Circle Time:  As we are winding down, we are reviewing the many things that we have learned.  Today, it was colors. 

Story:  My Many Colored Days is a book written by Dr. Seuss.  It uses colors to describe our feelings.   Sometimes we feel bright yellow and other times we might be a little brown.   We all have as many feelings as the colors of the rainbow.  You never know what is coming next!

Small Group:  We worked on a page from "My Book" again.  Today's page was about brushing our teeth and getting ready for school.
We also finished our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees.  They will go home tomorrow.

Large Group:  We practiced a little more of our program today and then we outdoors to play.

Snacks:  The morning class had Cheesy Chex Mix and juice brought by Russell.  The afternoon class had cheese rice cakes and juice brought by Myla.  Thank you!
