@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 @SuptMOTSD Today for friendship week, the preschoolers read "Should I Share My Ice Cream?" and made this hyper realistic ice cream puffy paint! Their final crafts came out looking adorable!

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 @SuptMOTSD This week is all about friendship in our preschool classroom! Today we learned about position words and syllables in preparation for our Teddy Bear picnic! The kids did a great job packing a picnic lunch to share with their teddies!

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 @SuptMOTSD Fun with feelings today in preschool after reading "A Little Spot of Feelings!"

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 @SuptMOTSD Today, we opened our first dramatic play center, our classroom center! The kids loved dressing up as the teacher, choosing "students" for their classes, and teaching them shapes, numbers, and counting!

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 @SuptMOTSD This week, our preschoolers learned about our classroom rules. Today, we learned what it means to have a "kind heart" and made "kindness stew" to practice ways of being kind to others!

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 @SuptMOTSD Our preschoolers are so excited to be back to school! Miss Ali and Miss Jackie are looking forward to getting to know our new friends 😊

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 The preschoolers learned about how clothes are made last week and had a great time creating their own tie dye shirts! We can't wait to see their reactions to the finished products next week! 😄

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 The preschoolers had so much fun going on a shopping trip to buy the different types of clothing we've been discussing! They helped set up the store by categorizing clothes and then chose one item from each category for their bag. So cute!

[Alison Bancroft @PrekWithAliB]

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 The preschoolers learned more types of clothes this week with a cute "dress for the weather" activity! We created outfits for warm, sunny days, relaxing indoor stormy days, rainy days, and more!

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 Ms. Leone introduced us to an adorable story, "Sneezy the Snowman"! We retold and illustrated the story for her class and then did a fun science experiment! Our snowmen were made from baking soda and water and melted when we added vinegar.

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 The preschoolers had a great first day back to school in 2023 with a fun snow science project exploring colors with our instant snow!

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 The preschoolers are having a great time with our trees unit! We sorted leaves, created shape orchards, sequenced the life cycle of a tree, learned about the seasons of a tree, and visited with a gardener who plants and cares for trees!

[Alison Bancroft @PrekWithAliB]

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 Today, the preschoolers started their Trees study! We learned the different parts of the trees, roots, trunk, branches, and leaves, on our nature walk and then painted them with this cute craft project!

[Alison Bancroft @PrekWithAliB]

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 The preschoolers learned about more and less today with our apple taste test! The kids each tried a red, yellow, and green apple and chose a favorite to add to our graph. It was cool to look inside the apples and taste lots of different kinds!

[Alison Bancroft @PrekWithAliB]

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 The preschoolers are excited to welcome the season of fall with a special week all about apples! We read "Ten Red Apples" and then went apple picking like the characters in the story! It was a great lesson on counting and sorting and so fun!

[Alison Bancroft @PrekWithAliB]

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 Our preschool class has had so much fun learning our class rules this week! Today we made "kindness stew" with each lucky charm representing something we can do to be kind and acted them all out!

[Alison Bancroft @PrekWithAliB]

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 The preschoolers have done so many cool science experiments this week with water! We tested to see how and why water makes things wet, what mixes with water, and what floats in water!

[Alison Bancroft @PrekWithAliB]

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 Today the preschoolers wondered, "Where does water come from"? "Bob the Snowman" was a great beginner text to introduce students to the water cycle. Then, we did a cloud science experiment to see why water rains down from the clouds!

[Alison Bancroft @PrekWithAliB]

@MtView07836 @melandyk @JOlsyn1109 What can't you do with water? The preschoolers had a great time reading and finding clues to different things people use water for. Then, they played with water and painted with it, too!
