Transportation and Color Mixing

The afternoon class is learning about primary colors and how we can use primary colors to make new colors. After we read Mouse Paint on Tuesday, we mixed yellow, blue, and red to make a color wheel.

We will be adding the letter R to our Letter Sounds song on Thursday!

Fun counting and fine motor work at the Toys and Puzzles center.

These colorful garages have been very popular in the block center in both the morning and afternoon sessions of preschool this week.

Building Humpty Dumpty's Wall

We had so much fun at our Valentine's Day parties! Thank to all the families
that provided treats, juice, napkins and valentines for our class.

Nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" like the Freeze Dance while wearing

our valentine crowns.

We are all such good friends!

In the morning classes, we built Humpty Dumpty a wall to sit on. For this activity the three year

olds are working on number identification and counting. Plus the added fine

motor challenge of building the tiny wall and balancing the egg on top.

Balancing the egg takes a lot of concentration!

It was fun to knock Humpty off the wall :)

Valentine's Day!

We played a great game during our Valentine's Party in the morning preschool class. We each held onto the sheet and shook it. The hearts went flying!

We did the Freeze Dance with our Valentine crowns on.

We danced.

We made crowns to wear during our party games. It took a lot of concentration to make the stripes on our crowns just right.

A lot of concentration!

Pajama Day Preparations

We are getting the classroom ready for Pajama Day on Friday. Yesterday the afternoon class painted these lovely watercolor lanterns. A little vegetable oil makes the paper translucent. We will enjoy the battery operated candle glow on Friday!

Penguins

The morning class made these penguins after we read the book Five Little Penguins Slipping on the Ice. I got the idea for this project on Pinterest.

Exploring the light table

The afternoon class has been learning more about light and dark this week. We read a book about the moon called On the Moon. We learned that the moon is very dusty and has lots of holes. During center time we have been using light at the Discovery Center. We have a homemade light table and Lite Brite we have been exploring this week.

Today we took advantage of the Star Lab being in the building by spending our group time gazing at the stars.

Snowmen everywhere but outside

We have been making many different kinds of snowmen in preschool. Today we made........... Playdough snowmen,

and snowmen made out of cotton pads,

The penguins and polar bears are even driving the cars in the block center!
