Happy Day After St. Patrick's Day!

                          The afternoon class took some fun St. Patrick's Day photo booth pictures!
           The morning students drank all their green milk....even if we weren't too sure about the green.
   Reading with friends in the library center...using pointers to "read" the words.
Today we painted with primary colors on a black and white grid. The children were so careful with their painting.  I love how they all turned out so different.

Black and White Week

 We are enjoying seeing the contrast between black and white this week in preschool and TK.

Black and white paint at the easel on black paper. 
 The morning classes painted with black and white paint on black and white paper.....
 We noticed that when we mixed the black and white paint, we made gray.
 The morning classes also made some lovely black and white sticker collages.  The children enjoyed making their designs and some of them even saw pictures in what they created (one little girl said her creation was a pond and another said her's was a unicorn covered in snow).

Transportation Activities

 We have been learning about transportation in the three year old classes.  We painted with cars.....

and made a stoplight we could eat during snack time.

Our Beautiful Alphabet

To celebrate the end of our first alphabet review this year, the TK class made the alphabet out of collage materials we had in our classroom.  It turned out great and we are enjoying it in our library center.  This center has been very popular since our 100th day of school.  The children practice their counting and literacy skills here.  There is also a calendar with numbers they can manipulate.  We have seen lots of pretend school play :)
