Penguins

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!

Can this really be January 5th?
The afternoon class made these name snowmen to hang on our lockers.......
Then we played outside for extra time to enjoy the 60 degree weather! It was so nice that we were able to take our coats off and enjoy the swings on the playground :)
The children have been asking and asking if they can swing and I thought that it would be a great way to celebrate the warm January weather.
We are hoping this weather sticks around for awhile!Wednesday, January 4, 2012

Thanksgiving Activities
As Thanksgiving gets closer, our activities are reflecting the upcoming holiday. 
The afternoon class made peanut butter. We shelled the peanuts, blended them with oil in the blender, and ate our delicious peanut butter on crackers. Thank you to Dorothy for her recipe, equipment, and tips!
All classes are counting out "whipped cream" onto little pumpkin pies. We are working on number identification and counting during this activity.
The morning classes used brown markers and orange watercolor paint to paint a piece of pumpkin pie. Tomorrow we will glue on the cotton whipped cream.
Another activity the children are enjoying is giving this wooden turkey feathers!
