Peanut Butter and Jelly

Last week the Tuesday class painted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We were short a few students that day, so everyone got to paint a slice of bread with "peanut butter" and "jelly" We started by painting the peanut butter........

and then the jelly. Grape jelly, of course.

After we painted, we put our two slices of bread together and rubbed.

Carefully pulled it apart............

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

Beach Day!

We had a blast on Beach Day! Thank you to Dorothy for all her wonderful "beachy" ideas!

Rhyming Dust Bunnies

We are so glad that Dorothy introduced us to the fun rhyming book, The Rhyming Dust Bunnies! It has quickly become one of our favorites in the afternoon. The dust bunnies are a group of friends that like to rhyme. Except Bob. He is always off task with his rhyming and looking out for brooms and vacuums.

On Monday after we read a new Rhyming Dust Bunnies book, we made some dust bunnies to hang on the door. We each came up with a rhyming word for our dust bunnies.

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!
