I’ve been lax about posting the last couple of weeks, but we’ve been having a lot of fun at the preschool! We spent two weeks learning about our five senses. We went on a listening walk, identified sounds in nature, guessed foods by their smells, did texture explorations and texture painting, and had a blindfolded taste test! The kids did a great job learning which body part is responsible for each of our senses.
For the past week, we’ve been learning about Spring! We read some books about seeds and flowers, “planted” our own garden in the dramatic play center, and made hand print tulips and coffee filter flowers.
Today, we took a break from our Spring theme to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! The kids had tons of fun listening to Irish music and doing a jig, eating cupcakes with green frosting, and making St. Patrick’s Day Shakers. We had a big surprise when we came back into our room after visiting Mindy, only to find that a leprechaun had ransacked the place! Luckily, he left a trail of clues that we could follow to find his hidden treasure… some chocolate coins in the Pastor’s office!
Next week, we’ll be finishing up our Spring theme. It will be especially fun, since each child will get a chance to plant their own seeds in a baggie and watch them grow over the coming weeks.
Happy Spring!
