We Apologize for the Interruption

It has been a very interesting week here at Preschool.  We had school cancelled on one day and then we were not able to blog until today.  We will try and catch up and let you know all of the cool things that we have been doing this past week.

On Monday we gathered in the Circle Time Room like we normally do.  Mrs. Whiteman had some Q-Tips and some baskets with holes in them which she turned upside down.  We practiced poking the Q-Tips through the holes.  It was fun to do that.  Later we blew streamers of crepe paper around.  Mrs. Whiteman had a fan and we were able to see that the fan created wind and blew our streamers all over.  There was also a really fun obstacle course and some great coloring pages that we could color in with our special crayons.

Our story today was called "Like a Windy Day".  A little girl wants to play like a windy day.  She wants to make the leaves come off of the trees and snatch peoples hats off of their heads.  She wants to play like a windy day and do all of the things that the wind would do.  We thought maybe that would be a fun way to play.

Logan brought our snack today and it was one of our favorites:  crackers and cheese.  Thank you, Logan.  Right after we were finished with our snack, we went to play and to do our art.  Mrs. Myers had some coffee filters for us.  We got to color on them with Magic Markers and then we did something kind of strange.  We sprayed water onto the colored coffee filters.  Do you know what happened?  The colors melted!  Yup.  They did.  They melted into each other all over the coffee filters.

On Wednesday and Thursday, we played with the race cars and tracks in the Circle Time Room.  We just love those.  We also did a different obstacle course!  Those are really fun and we love to run and jump when we go through the course.

Our story today was called "Alphabet Under Construction".  It was all about a little mouse who was building the alphabet.  Each letter had something being done to it that started with the letter.  For example, he was folding the F.  The pictures in this book were really neat.

Our snack today was cheese sticks and graham crackers from Maddie.  Yum.  We sure do like those cheese sticks.  On Thursday we had two snack helpers since we didn't have school on TuesdayEvelyn brought carrots and Luca brought bunny snack mix and oranges.  Thank you, everyone for the wonderful snacks.

We made a big mural with roller painters, paint and cars.  What?  We had different shapes on the rollers and then we ran the little cars' wheels into the paint and rolled the cars around and around the paper.  Whee.  Our teachers will put our murals up on the wall.
