Week of March 4th- 7th

 This week we spent learning and talking all about the rainbow! We learned the letter Uu, the number 4, the shape of a diamond and ALL the colors! On Monday, we read "How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow". During center time, the kiddos showed me all what they have learned this year as I started their quarterly assessments. We celebrated our cookie party for the class working together to fill up our star jar with all green days! We shared our cookies with Miss Jay's friends! We followed our cookie party with a walk to the Capitol to look at the clouds! On Tuesday, we read "Bear Sees Colors". During center time, the kiddos continued to show me all that they have learned as I continued quarterly assessments. On Wednesday, we read "The Crayon Box That Talked". I wrapped up our quarterly assessments. We started our walking rainbow science experiment. We placed water in each cup and red, yellow and blue food coloring in three of the cups. I then placed paper towels connecting the cups with just water in them. We are still waiting to see what will happen once the food coloring has started traveling to the other cups. We went on a rainbow color hunt to find things out in nature that match each color of the rainbow. Miss Mary bought preschool a tee and bat for our P.E. Fridays and we tested it out since it was such a nice day out. On Thursday, we read "Mixed". During center time, the students painted their hands with one primary color on each hand and then rubbed them together to see what color they created. We also made bingo dobber rainbows. We got a chance to see the winter concert preview that the big school put on for us! What a fun filled week. I will see you all on Monday! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Week of February 26th-March 1st

What a crazy weather week we had! Its also hard to believe that we have already reached March! This week we celebrated all things Dr. Seuss! We learned the letter Dd, the number 3,  the color blue, and the shape of a rectangle. On Monday, we celebrated pajama day and read "Green Eggs and Ham". During center time, the kiddos colored green eggs and finished the sentence, I would not eat them__. Check them out as they are hanging on the windows in our classroom. On Tuesday, it was team blue versus team red and we read "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish". During center time, I painted their hands red and blue and we made red and blue fish with their handprints. On Wednesday, we read "The Foot Book" and showed off our silly socks. We spent the morning walking around the classroom in just our socks! During center time, I started working with the students one on one to assess how they are doing as we are wrapping up the 3rd quarter here in a couple of weeks. On Thursday, we wore our animal prints and favorite animals and we read "Oh, The Places You'll Go" and during center time, the kiddos got to color their very own hot air balloon and finished the sentence "When I grow up I want to be_____". I always love hearing all of the fun things they want to be when they grow up. We also celebrated our monthly praise assembly with the big school. On Friday, we had our Fun Friday and wore our hats to celebrate Cat in the Hat and wrap up Dr. Seuss week. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I will see you all on Monday! Enjoy the photos from the week!
