We played outside right when we got to school. Some of the new toys from the Art Show Fundraiser are already here. We played with the water pump and the ramps. We will really use them next year, that's for sure.
"HICCUPotamus" was the name of our story. It was all about a hippopatomus who had the hiccups. He caused a lot of problems, so his friends tried to help him get rid of those hiccups. What happened at the end is hilarious.
We had quite a lot of snack today. It was a Smorgasbord. Lucie brought marshmallows, penguin crackers and yummy strawberries. Thank you, Lucie. Ryan brought muffins for his birthday treat. Thank you, Ryan. We sure had a feast today.

New Toys in the Outdoor Classroom
We didn't go right outside when we got here this morning. That's because the Kindergarten Readiness kids were outside. We stayed in for a while and played Duck, Duck, Goose, Tangrams and links. We linked all of the colorful links together and tried to stretch them as far as we could go. There were a lot of them.
Our story was "Just Grandma and Me". It is a Little Critter book and he goes to the beach with his Grandma. Poor Little Critter. He tries so hard, but he always seems to do things wrong.
Today was Birthday Day for the summer birthday kids. We had ice cream! Mrs. Whiteman and Mrs. Myers even had chocolate syrup and sprinkles for us if we wanted them. Yummy!
At the Art Table we colored However, it was a different way to color. Mrs. Myers had put 4 different crayons together with a rubber band. We used all 4 crayons at once! It was hard, but fun.
Do you remember the Art Show? Do you remember the money that we were raising for new toys in the outdoor classroom? Well, Mrs. Christiansen already ordered some of those toys. Guess what? We got to play with them today.
There was a very cool water pump. It is hard to work, but we sure had fun trying to use our muscles. Then there were the wooden ramps and balls. That stuff looks like a giant marble ramp. There are lots of different pieces so that you can use your imagination to put it together any way you want. Then you can take the big wooden balls and roll them down the ramps. So cool. Thank you everyone for donating at the Art Show so that we can have these awesome toys.

It's Almost the End
We just cannot believe that preschool is already almost over. We will miss our friends here. Luckily, most of us will be back next year for Preschool Readiness.
We went outside right away today. Of course, first we hung up our things and washed our hands. When we got outside it was still a little too cool for the water table, but we did play in the sand. We also played monster all by ourselves. Usually we ask a teacher to help, but today we did it all. They are working on the road in front of the preschool so we are starting to see lots of cool trucks drive by our outdoor classroom. Today we saw a dump truck.
Our story was called, "Just Grandma and Me". It is a Little Critter book. In it he goes to the beach with his Grandma. He tries very hard to help do all sorts of things, but they usually don't work out very well.
We had our Summer Birthdays Day today. For snack we got to have ice cream. We could even have chocolate syrup and sprinkles if we wanted them. Yippee.
Today at the Art Table we had crayons that were rubber-banded together. We got to draw with all of them at the same time. And, they were all different colors.

We Think That Spring is Finally Here
This week has been wonderful. We have been able to go outside to play everyday. Yippee. Today we really enjoyed the sand and water tables. We have fun collecting things like pine cones, also.
Our story was called, "Froggy Plays Soccer". In this book, Froggy has to learn how to play soccer. The most important rule is not to use your hands. Does Froggy remember the rule?
We had a yummy snack of carrots, Ranch dip and goldfish from Evie. Thank you, Evie. On Thursday, Kadence brought strawberries and vanilla wafers. Thank you, Kadence. Then we went over to the Art Table and we learned how to use the tap glue. The tap glue has a special lid and you just tap it on the paper; tap, tap, tap. We each had some paper and we could cut some pieces or use some shapes that were already there. Then we would tap, tap, tap the glue and glue those things onto our paper. We like using the tap glue.

We Are Growing Up
Today was a nice day so we went outside right away when we got to preschool. We played in our outdoor classroom. We are very lucky to have this space to play.
Our story today was called, "Job Site". It was all about the things that you see and the work that is done on a construction site. There were very big machines that did lots of heavy work. The boss would tell the people what to do and they would do it. Finally, the job was all finished. What did they build?
Today we had a very special snack. Of course, it was Birthday Day, so that means that we got to help. Our teachers thought that we should practice for next year when we are in the Kindergarten Readiness Class. There was juice and water in little pitchers and there were big bowls of snack on each table. We got to pour our own juice and water. Then we got to serve ourselves one big spoonful of snack (a trail mix) on our napkin. After everyone had a turn, if we were done with our snack we could have another helping. It was fun to practice for next year.
At the Art Table, we painted with paintbrushes on paper. We just love to paint. We made really pretty pictures. Of course, they were wet so we couldn't bring them home yet.
We would like to thank Reese's mommy for coming to help our class today. Thank you. You were a lot of fun.

Happy May Day!
It's the first day of May! Happy May Day everyone. Today we celebrated by going around the Maypole. Mrs. Whiteman brought in a tall pole with colorful streamers all over the top of it. We each got to hold one. Then we ran around the Maypole while we were holding our streamers. They wrapped right around. Then, we ran back the other way to unwrap it. Can we do it again?
Our story was called, "A Porcupine Named Fluffy". When Fluffy was born his parents couldn't decide what to call him. Finally they thought about the name Fluffy. When Fluffy got a little older he started to believe that maybe he wasn't so fluffy. He stuck into things and poked holes in things. Fluffy decided to make himself fluffier. I wonder if it worked?
Our snack was from Leah. It was yummy yogurt in little cups. Thank you, Leah. Our Thursday snack was from Riley. We had grapes, apples and cheese sticks. Thank you, Riley.
For our Art Project today, we made monsters. Mrs. Whiteman brought in some red play dough that she had made and we got to shape it into our own special monster. Then we added things like eyes and colored macaroni. We sure had some scary monsters.
We cleaned all of the toys up a little early today so that we could play outside. It was so beautiful out! We ran around and played with the trucks. Did you know that we have a sand table and a water table in our outdoor classroom? Well, we do. This was our first time playing with the water table and boy did we like that! Unfortunately, on Thursday, it got cold and rainy so we didn't have a chance to go outside. We really wanted to, but this silly weather got us.
