Last Day of Spring Session '14 Graduation Pre-K Class

I hope you are all having a grand summer- vacations, swimming and staying cool!   Here are the last of the pictures for our Spring class!   

Water Day!

What fun we had outside for water day!   Everyone had a squirter and doused Miss Kathi with them.  We had practice for our graduation program coming up Friday......the last day of school! : (

Disney Week!

Oh, golly, gee !  We had a great Disney week!   We  had fun with Disney characters and being our own princesses and superheros.  We ended the week with watching Frozen and having a special treat. Thanks to Angela and Kevin for bringing Disney cupcakes!

We dressed up for Disney party day and 

we loved it so much, we talked all the 

following days about it!

Some Beary Fun!

It's been a week of stories like My Bear and Me, Corduroy Goes to the Library ,  and the traditional story of Corduroy.  As you know, the Teddy Bear wagons were a hit and we paraded around the center waving to whoever would wave back!  We held them at circle time, read to them, and even had the bear hospital to repair their wounds...

We went through many bandaids and gauze!

I found the best part of this unit was seeing the children enjoy "reading" together "Brown Bear, Brown Bear".  They were so excited to read the story word for word.   After books went home, they were even reciting the words of the book in class.  These are the type activities that really prepare them for Kindergarten.  They have learned about print, that it goes left to right, how to take care of a book, sight words, and literary comprehension.  We are ending our class soon and I am proud that many of them have begun reading.  All of the children know their letters and sounds!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Have a fun weekend egg hunting and being with families!

Some bunnies posed for their Easter photos, sure to go in their journals.

 

Life cycles Unit

We had a wonderful time learning about life cycles of ladybugs, praying mantis , butterflies and even a water dog (salamander ).

                                                      

it was fun to let the ladybugs go in the MQueen garden!

The children loved this unit and hands on science is always popular.  We began sprouting our seeds and several went home with sprouts and roots starting to show.

The special project was fun with our initials, and the children painted over two hundred pieces for the project.  cute enough to hang in their rooms!

                  

Top Secret Project

We are making a fun project for our rooms at home.  We have to paint a gazillion puzzle pieces, but no one seems to mind!

It was definitely "M" week and we're busy with gluing macaroni (don't you remember being in school and always gluing macaroni?)  My mom still has the ugly ornament on her Christmas tree!

We read the book Mouse Paint and used the same colors on our palette that the mice did in the book.

We learned how colors can be mixed to make new ones!

 We are starting our Life Cycle class this week with

Caterpillars/Butterflies and Ladybugs, too!
