Beach Field Trip!!

Both the 3's and the 4's classes met at Owen's Beach today! It didn't matter that it was overcast and a little cool. The kids had a great time and many ventured into the water anyway! The big discovery was a jellyfish that Miss Jena held with a small shovel for all to see. After a picnic lunch some met over by the play area and continued the fun!

It's Orange Day!

Ok, everybody wear ORANGE!! We had a fun, goopy project today! Miss Jena mixed flour and water to make a dough that acted like glue! Some got their hands right in it and some didn't want to touch it! =) Everyone had fun sticking little items and bits of paper into the dough.

Easter Fun

We celebrated Easter a little early since we are on spring break next week. Our big activity today was to color Easter eggs. While the 3-year old class was so careful to keep the eggs in just one container, the 4's enjoyed plopping them in MANY different colors to see what would happen! Then several students brought in items for our Bunny salad bar which was a big hit with both classes! This will tie in with our "Eating Healthy" unit after break! Thanks to all parents that contributed to our Bunny salad bar!! Here are some pics from the day:

St. Patrick's Day FUN

We all did such a great job of wearing lots of GREEN for St. Patrick's day! And if anyone forgot there was plenty of green paint and sparkles for arts and crafts! =) Hayley was our snack helper today and she brought a special treat of cookies with green frosting and shamrock sprinkles along with juice and bananas. The weather has been so nice and we enjoyed playing outside and blowing bubbles. Check out our St. Patrick's Day fun!

Music Lesson

Today we had another guest speaker! Mr. Kelsey (Kaitlyn's Dad) came in to teach about musical instruments. He is the band director at Columbia Jr. High in Fife and happened to be on break. He showed the preschoolers several kinds of rhythm instruments and let them all try each one. Then he had them do some clapping ryhthyms before passing out all the instruments for a grande finale performance of Jesus Loves Me. Mr. Kelsey played keyboards and the students played along while singing. They did a great job and enjoyed seeing some new and different instruments!

Here is a page that just might make the final selection for the preschool yearbook! =)

Celebrating Valentine's Day early

Since Valentine's is on Sunday the preschoolers are having their party today. Everything was decked out in hearts! They glued glitter onto purple hearts and ate heart shaped sandwiches for snack. They had Valentine's Day bags all decorated and ready to go and did such a good job of waiting for their turn to pass out their goodies to their friends. Just look at what fun we had today!
