Such Sweet Girls

I just had to post this sweet picture. A friend from another class pulled Josephine's hair. Josehpine was very upset. Kinsley "patted" Josehpine's hair until Jospehine was all better.

Earth Day!

The weather was so gorgeous today, we decided to throw some of our lesson plans out the window and go on a spontaneous nature walk to celebrate Earth Day! We made beautiful nature bracelets! We had a wonderful time!!

An adventure in Space

An Adventure in Space!(we were able to look thru these fun star kaleidoscopes)

We had a wonderful week learning about space! We talked all about how we live on Earth and how the sun is very hot. We even thought it was funny that Mickey's dog is named after a planet and that Saturn likes to hula hoop!

In our sensory table this week we worked with Moon Sand, shuttles and astronauts.


In art this week we made a sun and moon collage.

We were also able to "read" many books about space!


In Centers this week, we did a lot of our tried and true centers! We played with play dough and odd and ends cookie cutters and other play dough toys, we made towers with blocks, we did tons of puzzles, and we had a drawing center where the kids could just doodle and scribble whatever they wanted!

Our bible story this week was Son of Laughter. We talked about God telling Abraham to count the stars, we would try to count and then get so high we would get all mixed up and have to start again. Every time we would say the name Isaac, we would have to laugh as loud as we could. It was very sweet!

We have implemented something a little new during our snack time and lunch time. If your child does not bring something to drink (almost everyone for snack) then they get to get their own water now! This may not sound like that big of a deal. But they absolutely LOVE this. They can choose to either pour their own water or use the baster.
Have a great weekend!

Next week will be starting a 2 week long unit. It will be Mother Goose (all about nursery rhymes). Along with Birds of a Feather and Eric Carle Extravaganza (coming up) this is one of our FAVORITE units!

School CLOSED

Don't forget that His Kids Weekday Preschool will be closed next Monday, the 13th.

Next week when we come back to school, our unit will be SPACE!!! We will be doing show-n-tell on Tuesday!

Easter

Happy Easter!

The Easter bunny was able to come to our school this week!

(Don't we just have the best director!)

We had a WONDERFUL week talking all about Easter! Our bible story this week was Jesus is ALIVE! Mostly on this blog, we show you the "academics" of our classroom. But, it truly is such a blessing to both of us to teach your children about Jesus.

We did so many fun things this week during our center time!

We worked on using our fine motor skills to "dig out" these Easter themed erasers and then find their match.

We played with play dough and Easter cookie cutters!

We worked on sorting and again using our fine motor skills with this pom pom activity.


We worked on our number recognization and sorting skills with these Easter eggs and baskets.

In our sensory table this week we matched up Easter eggs that were hiding in this Easter grass!

In our library center this week, we were able to read several Easter books and we listened to Easter Eggs Everywhere in our listening center.

We were able to draw with Easter egg shaped chalk.


We also worked on this water transfer. These pictures did not turn out well, because the water is colored yellow.

In art this week, we painted an Easter egg pattern.

We also made these cross sun-catchers!

Everyone had an awesome time during our egg hunt and our Easter Celebration lunch!

We hope that everyone has a very Happy Easter!!

Love, Cassie and Jen
