Funtime has been cancelled for the rest of the semester - the kids have learned all they can and Amy and I are taking some much needed R & R. See you all in the fall. APRIL FOOLS!!
(sorry - just couldn't resist)
The kiddos have been excited this week to tell me all about the signs of spring they have seen. This morning when I stepped out of my front door for my morning workout, one of my trees had the beginnings of leaves! Now, if only the wind would go away....
Our theme this week was spring. On Monday for craft, we made spring trees. One tree had popcorn kernels as the buds and the tree next to it had popped popcorn for the flowers. The kids loved using popcorn for craft and surprisingly nobody ate it!
The pre-k class worked on writing their numbers.
On Wednesday the kids made flowers using recycled egg cartons (thanks to all my wonderful parents who have and continue to bring the recyclables in). They painted the piece of the carton inside and out, because "flowers have color all over them." Little cuties - I just love the things they say! As we did this craft, they were reminded of all the flowers they have seen popping up lately. More daffodils and now the tulips are starting to come out. In my yard, my iris' and poppies are greening up, getting ready to make some gorgeous flowers. I love this time of year, a time of renewal.
The pre-k kids continue to work hard on their handwriting, this week we focused on Gg and Jj. The tricky part of these letters is making sure the tail points in the right direction. We are also working on learning address' and phone numbers. Most of the kids recognize theirs when I say it, but they cannot say it back to me. Please work on this at home as well, my goal is to have them all being able to recite their address' and phone numbers by our graduation in May.
Today for gym we got the soccer balls and goals and the basket balls and hoops out. The kids had so much fun kicking the balls, chasing the balls and trying to score a goal. They also worked really hard to try and get the basketballs through the hoops. It was to watch them try to work out how they were going to get the ball up that high and through the hoop.
Instead of gym time, the pre-k class took advantage of this beautiful spring weather and walked over to Boltz Middle School and played soccer and freeze tag in the grassy area by their baseball field. It was so wonderful to be outside running around. I am so proud of the kids, they stayed together as we walked and obeyed the rules of outside play. Kudos!
Have a great weekend - get outside and enjoy the weather!
