A. spelled these words all on his own!
Today we made Hulk figures with paper and recycled cardboard tubes. We also read Super Guinea Pig to the Rescue by Udo Weigett.

Earlier this week we started reading Super Diaper Baby by Dav Pikely and we finished it (our first chapter book) today! The kids really enjoyed the silliness of the author's writing. If you're not familiar with Dav Pikely, he also wrote the Captain Underpants series.

This morning in literacy centers we noticed quite a few preschoolers sounding out letters and forming words all on their own! We've been practicing stretching out words to hear all of their sounds.

We have been collecting cans in our room since our recycling unit. I'm happy to report that so far we were able to save up enough money to buy new literacy journals for all of the students! We can't wait to start using them in our literacy centers!

We will continue collecting cans through June. We're hoping to save up to purchase educational games.

Spiderman "web" painting. Look out evil blank paper!!
Today we started our Superhero Week. We read Atomic Ace: He's Just My Dad by Jeff Weigel and talked about how there can be real life superheroes. Some of the real superheroes in our lives: mom, dad, doctors, police, firefighters, and paramedics. The students discussed how real life superheroes do things to help and sometimes even save other people.

For art we went outside to do some Spiderman "web" painting. We used cooked spaghetti noodles dipped in tempera paint to throw at our evil blank paper villain. In another station, students played with Ivan Ooze's ooze in a sensory tub. We used recycled crepe paper, water, and ivory soap to make our ooze.

Warm Weather Reminders

5/25/2012

As the weather gets warmer we will be spending more time outside. Please make sure that your child is dressed and ready to play in the sunshine with us! One way to come prepared is to apply sunscreen on your child in the morning. We will reapply in the afternoon and put on bug spray each time we go out.

Our preschoolers are allowed to bring in water bottles as long as it is clearly labeled with their name AND it goes home each day to get washed. Carey and Nicole really like these water bottles at Toys 'R Us.

This week's math centers are a hit! Students have been practicing their phone numbers, using legos to build, bug sorting, and ant counting! We've been very busy mathematicians!

First we look in the phone book for our number, then we practicing writing it before we dial it on the phone.

Can we build it?

Students fill each cup with the correct number of "ants".
Today we learned about spiders! We read Miss Spider's Tea Party and discussed the difference between fiction and non-fiction. Then we laced yarn through paper plates to weave our own spiderwebs and we used our hand prints to make spooky spiders. We had a great day!

Today we learned all about ANTS! After circle time we started making our very own pet ants out of plastic spoons and black pipe cleaners.

We went on an ant hunt outside and found a few ants to add to our ant farm. We wonder what the ants will do in their new home...Keep checking back for our observations!

Kid's Choice- Zombies!

Friday was another beautiful day! Way too sunny for zombies to come out and play for too long...

We read the story No Zombies Allowed by Matt Novak and created zombie brains to wear on our heads! While crafting, we listened to creepy zombie music and lurched around the room. We had time for math and literacy centers, but spent the rest of the day outside.

Today we enjoyed the great outdoors! The day started with our circle time outdoors, where we read Jonathan London's Froggy goes to Camp. Then we pitched our very own tent, and spent the rest of the morning singing campfire songs, playing with sticks, and going on hikes! After outdoor lunch, we even had nap outside! 
Picture
To make our craft, miniature campfires, we had to go on a hike and find all the supplies in nature! We collected sticks and rocks to use in our tiny fire pits.
