Guess what? We are going to start looking at all sorts of seeds now. We had a bunch at our viewing table and we even had magnifying glasses. It is a little hard to learn how to use those, but we are trying. We were able to go outside and we painted with water on cardboard, used the ribbons, scarves and hoops and we even found an earwig! Hurray.
Our story was huge! At least, the book was really big. Those are called 'big book's'. We can see the pictures a lot better on those. Today our 'big book' was called, "An Apple a Day". It was all about apples. Did you know that there are 3 colors of apples? Did you know that they grow on trees from a flower? How do we pick apples? Oh my goodness. There are so many things to learn about apples.
We sang some songs today right after our story. We sang "I'm an Acorn", "Way Up High in the Apple Tree", and "Leaves Are Falling". For snack we had our very own goldfish packets. Thank you, Aidan. On Tuesday, our snack was crackers and cheese. The cheese was shaped like Mickey Mouse. Thank you, Kadence.
Mrs. Whiteman and Mrs. Meyers reminded us to bring in our permission slips for the Pumpkin Patch. We go next week. That will be so much fun. We can't wait.

Bye Bye Bugs
OUR OPEN HOUSE IS TONIGHT (9/25)! IT IS FROM 5:30-6:30 PM. WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!
Our songs today were "Here's the Beehive", "Baby Bumblebee" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider". We love singing. Sometimes we also get to do some songs right before we wash our hands. After we wash, we head right into the big play room and go to the snack tables. Today we had peanut butter crackers. Yum. Thank you, Jordyn. On Tuesday we had a great snack of bananas and goldfish crackers. Thank you, Riley.
For art today we did something that was easy and very different. We took yellow chalk and dipped it into gold paint. Then we drew pictures on a piece of black construction paper. The paint comes off onto the paper with the chalk and it looks ever so shiny.
"The Very Greedy Bee" was our story today and it was a good one. There was a bee and he wanted ALL of the nectar. He wouldn't share with anyone, not even his bee friends. One day he found a special group of flowers and decided that he wouldn't let anyone know about it so that he could have all of the nectar to himself. Well, he got so full and so fat that something happened to him. I wonder what it was?
Parents: Remember that permission slips to the Pumpkin Patch went home last week and they are due very soon. The newsletter/calendar, tuition envelopes and class lists went home today. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call.

It Was Bug Day!
Woohoo! Today was Bug Day for Show and Share and we had some amazing bugs. We had bug pictures, live bugs, dead bugs and even a bug in a necklace. Wow. We each got to show everyone our bugs. It was so much fun.
We were able to go back outside today and we played with the buckets, the floaty scarves and ribbons, the nerf balls and we painted with water again. We are always so glad when we get to go outside and play. Since it has been chilly, we are trying very hard to put on our own jackets. We have a magic way to do it. Can you guess what it is?
Our songs today were "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Lady Bugs Fly", "Baby Bumblebee", and "Here Is the Beehive". Our story was really funny. It was called Silly Sally. When we read the story, we had something new to do. We had flannelboard pieces that went with the book. Mrs. Whiteman read us the story and then she put the flannel pieces on a special board. Guess what? They stuck on the board all by themselves.
Our snack today from Lucie was bagels and cream cheese. We were very quiet at snack because we were all eating. Yum. On Tuesday, our snack was apples and caramel dip. Thank you, Parker. After that we did a new art project and you won't believe what we got to do. First we bent some pipe cleaners and stuck them on a piece of foil. We crumpled the foil up around the pipecleaners. Now, this is the best part, we got to stomp on the foil ball with our foot! How cool is that? No one lets us stomp like that. What did this art project turn out to be?
Parents: We have sent home the permission slips for the field trip to the Pumpkin Patch. They are in your child's backpack.

Peeling Our Bananas
Hello.
We are glad to be back in school again. We were very excited to play and go outside. We did an obstacle course, water painting on cardboard and we played with our natural wood blocks. When we got to school we had a worm and a roly poly bug to look at through our bug viewers. On Tuesday the grass was very wet, so we played inside. We got to do PlayDoh, easels and a very fun game called "Jump the River". We also had a centipede in our bug viewer. He has a lot of legs.
We got to sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Lady Bugs Fly", "Baby Bumblebee", and "Here is the Beehive". After we washed our hands and went to the snack table we learned what we would be doing for Cooking Day. We had to peel our own bananas! Oh no. Some of us were worried because we had never done that before. But, Mrs. Whiteman and Mrs. Myers showed us how and guess what? We could all do it. Every single one of us! Now we will be able to do it at home too. And after we got them peeled, we were able to dip the bananas into sprinkles. Yippee. After our bananas were all gone we sang the "Happy Birthday Song". Then we each had a brownie. We are just going to love Cooking Day!
During Art today we made a spider web out of glitter and glue. We used a popsicle stick to slide the glue around on our paper and then we got to sprinkle on some glitter. We love glitter.
Our story was called "Step By Step". It was about an ant who did some traveling to visit her friend. They did some fun things and even had a very scary adventure. What happened to them? Hmmm.

Smack That Fly!
We had a lot of fun doing our art today. We got to smack flyswatters in paint! We pretended that there were flies on the paper and smack, smack smack. The flyswatters left cool designs.
We got to go outside because the weather has been really nice. We played with the collecting buckets, the wood blocks, and the balls. Mrs. Whiteman brought out some big pieces of cardboard and we got to paint with water. We loved that! While we were outside, we caught a spider and an ant and we put them in some bug jars so that we could look at them. There was a spider web and some very cool foil and pipe cleaner spiders that were in our tree.
On Tuesday, we still got to go outside, even though the weatherman said it would rain. We were lucky because it didn't start raining until the very end of school. We were able to use our hoops, the balls and the collecting buckets. We also let the ant and the spider go today. They belong outside in the grass.
We let the crickets go today. They were happy to hop off and be in the grass. We also got to see a butterfly that someone from the other class had brought to school.
Our story today was "Tumble Bumble". It was a rhyming book with all sorts of animals who went for a walk. The kept bumping into other animals. They finally got to a house, but no one was home. What did they do?
Our songs today were "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "2 Little Butterflies" and "Ladybugs Fly". We had a wonderful snack of Rice Krispie Treats from Hayden. Thank you. On Tuesday, our snack was bananas and Rice Krispie Treats. Thank you, Carter. We also got a birthday treat from Hudson. Happy Birthday, Hudson.
In our backpacks today are our Ladybug Finger Painting projects from the other day. We have art to take home. Yeah.

Yarn Balls
Today we had fun going outside and enjoying the cooler weather. We played with the musical instruments, the collecting buckets and yarn balls. Yarn balls? What do you do with those? You make a spider web. We also found a fairy house made out of acorns. We watched our crickets and we set another grasshopper free. He hopped under the fence and went away. On Tuesday, we got to do all of these same things except that we had already let our grasshopper free the other day.
Our songs today were "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Two Little Butterflies", and "Ladybugs Fly". Our story was a great one. It was called "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". That caterpillar was so hungry you wouldn't even believe what he ate. He ate one ...
Today we had art for the first time. We had a picture of a ladybug and some paint. We got to put our finger in the paint and then we pressed that finger onto our ladybug paper. Some of us didn't mind getting messy, some of us did. That's okay. We will all get messy someday.
Snack today was awesome. We had carrots, Ranch dressing and cheese sticks. Thank you, Evie.
Snack on Tuesday was so good we couldn't stand it. We had cheese sticks and apple slices. Think you, Hudson.

A Quick Get Away
Our second week of preschool is already over. We have been having so much fun learning things that the time is just flying away from us.
Speaking of flying away, guess what happened today? We let our grasshopper go and he flew! And we got to see it. We also caught a cricket. We just love looking at our bugs.
Today's story was called "Ten Little Ladybugs" and it was fun to read. We got to count backwards. There were ten little ladybugs, but then something happened and there were only nine. And then something else happened and there were only ...
We played outside again because it was pretty dry. We got to do the obstacle course, balls, hoops and the collecting buckets. Snack was animal crackers. Thank you, Gavin.

Surprise! New Bugs
We had some new bugs in school today. Of course, we had the crickets from Mrs. Whiteman, but we also had a grasshopper and a bee. The grasshopper was silly and he kept climbing all over the bug house. The bee was dead, but it was very cool to look through the magnifying glass and see it. By the way, the crickets now have little apartments made out of tp rolls and they are eating carrots. They have also started chirping!
We played outside again on Tuesday. Yeah for the good weather. We got to do the wrist ribbons, scarves, balls, hoops and collecting buckets. We even found an ant and caught it to look at later.
For Wednesday, the rain came back and we had to play inside. But it was super fun because we got to play with the musical instruments on the number mats. We could even choose the instruments that we wanted to play. We also did our tabletop easels and our all time favorite, Play Doh.
Our story today was called "The Very Lazy Ladybug". She was so lazy that she slept all day and all night. She didn't even know how to fly, so she did something else. I wonder what she did? Did she ever learn to fly?
Our songs today were "I'm a Little Teapot", "Skidamarink", "5 Little Ducks", and "Itsy Bitsy Spider". We had a very yummy snack of graham cracker snacks and GoGurt on Tuesday. Thank you, Evelyn. On Wednesday we had graham crackers and grapes from Ryan. Thank you, Ryan.
