HAPPY TUESDAY

Wyatt was SO excited to

do a job he has never done before!!

He was our botanist 

today!!

He drew what he discovered

about how pepper plants

Jace was our entomologist.... he was excited to see our butterflies

MORNING WORK

This cool puzzle using a magnetic

"bug net" to catch/lift the pieces out

Jace using the butterflies

Cameron and Carson having fun

with the JACKS... they children

really love this and it truly is a great

way to strengthen and develop fine motor skills

Teddy having fun with

the Jacks

Nora reading one of

our new library books on 

butterflies!

A butterfly/Caterpillar game

Game playing is so important

and a great way to teach one to one

correspondence, number recognition, turn taking,

and how to handle not always winning

Nora brought a butterfly

to share with the class

The children are so 

excited the BUTTERFLIES

emerged !! We have 5!!

Tomorrow we will release them!!

It seems to be the best weather forecasted day

For those who do not come on Weds.... I will record the release and

send it out!!!

Mila was attendance helper

Jace and Wyatt sharing their findings with

the class

Since we didn't get to see the 

butterflies actually emerge...we watched an

YOUTUBE video!!

OUTSIDE!!!! I knew the playground

would be wet from the rain BUT I didn't

know it would be flooded!!!

Didn't take long for the children to discover

the water!!!! It began with just 1 or 2 

gently walking through the water

Then discovering just how deep the water

really was.... it came to about the top of 

Charlie's boots!

Lots of discovering, exploring

and learning about cause and effect!!!

By the end...the children were very comfortable

splashing and stomping through the water!!!

Definitely FUN but so very

messy!!!

Just what a day of preschool should be!!!

And one friend who just

wanted to stay on high ground

and observe!

Charlie says, "I think I am going

to faint!"

Mrs Koenen said, " Well, Children + Water = 

Children getting wet!!

Charlie thought for a moment and said,

Children + Water = disaster

😂😂😂

I personally would have been the 

child standing exactly where Mila

stood.... she did explore a little

when I assured her it was dry in 

the bamboo...but I don't think she went

there for long!

STORY TIME

Mila was our weather helper

Charlie was our Prayer Leader

Teddy was our snack manager

SNACK

Our teacher assistant will start to have

a new JOB.... still pointing to things and

calling on friends BUT now pointing to

our environmental print!!!!

Feel free to start sending in

environmental print....

Jace was our LAST estimation jar friend!!

He brought in fun random toys.....

LOTS of friends estimated exactly

 right or VERY close!

CENTER TIME

NEW ITEMS in dramatic play

a veterinarian clinic/office

VERY POPULAR AREA

so we have a sign up sheet

(which is a great way to encourage

children to write their names)

Which BTW..... writing with the paper

taped at eye/chest level strengthens other

muscles... like core and arm.

This is can be a little difficult but a 

great thing to try at home.

Or use an easel but encourage the children to

STAND rather than sit!!

Nathaniel put something in the stool

and was showing Wyatt

Mila making a creation

Matthew was our superintendent

Charlie leaving a new message

for Emma. Charlie looked at a 

sign that had my last name and was

spelling it out! Wyatt came to help find

a few letters 

Carson volunteered to be our

YOGA Instructor

UMMMM>>>> as you can see... challenging!!!

SO I asked them to bend over and try to touch

their heads to their knees... MUCH easier!!!!

Carson's job today was exercise

leader..... RUN IN PLACE

PRAYER REQUESTS!!!
