What is That Crazy Machine?

We came into preschool today and after we washed our hands we went into the Circle Time Room.  Some of us sat on the floor and played with toys like plastic bugs and puzzles.  Some of the rest of us played with the buttons on the table.  When we came into school on Thursday, we had to take off our things and sit on the benches.  Why?  Well, we had something new that we had to learn about.  We have new soap dispensers.  We can just put our hand under the dispenser and out comes the foamy soap.  So this is what we do:  1.  Put our hand under the dispenser.  2.  Rub the soap all over our hands to clean them.  3.  Turn on the water.  4.  Rinse off our hands.  5.  Dry them with a paper towel.  It was fun to try the new machine.

After all of that it was time to play in little groups.  Some of us played with a machine.  It blew out air.  It was a little vacuum cleaner!  We couldn't believe it.  There were plastic pipes that Mrs. Meyers attached to one end.  We put a cotton ball into the pipe and guess what happened when she turned on the vacuum cleaner?  It blew the cotton ball up into the air.  The cotton ball even almost touched the ceiling.  We also played a marble game.  We had lots of marbles in hoola hoops.

Our songs today were "5 Little Monkeys", "Inky Dinky Doo" and "The More We Get Together".  We had a super good story, too.  It was called "The Mitten".  It was all about a boy named Nicki.  His grandmother knitted him a pair of white mittens.  She was worried that he would lose one in the snow and he did.  A mole found his mitten and went inside.  Then a snowshoe rabbit went inside of it, too.  A lot of different animals kept trying to fit inside Nicki's mitten.  What happened next?

We had a super snack today.  Yummy in our tummies.  We had little plain and raisin bagels and cream cheese.  We loved it.  Thank you, Lucie.  Then after our snack was all gone, we went over to the Art Table.  We put red, green and gold paint on a yellow piece of paper.  Then we folded the paper over and pressed down.  It made a cool design on both halves.  On Thursday we had a snack of cheese sticks and granola bars from Parker.  Thank you!  We also had Maxwell's mommy here to play with us today.  Thank you!
