Today at preschool, we pulled out an elementary dictionary and looked up the meanings of some random words. I had a purpose for this exercise, but I first wanted to let the kids chose a word to look up and tell them the definition. They really enjoyed it! My plan was to look up the meanings of the words spring and flower. Once we did, we discussed what spring was, what it looked like and then we started talking about flowers. Instead of having the preschoolers draw flowers, I thought it would be more fun to use paint and old water bottles and our hands to make flowers!! If you have ever noticed the bottom of water bottle, it looks like a beautiful flower! Our hand prints also make really neat looking tulips! Next, we went outside for a walk where we looked for signs of spring!! We saw birds, flowers, green grass, green trees and even a worm!!! Like the preschoolers, I am so happy to see that spring has finally arrived! Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!!
REMEMBER!! The Easter egg hunt and pancake breakfast is THIS Saturday at the charter school. The pancake breakfast starts at 10 A.M. and the egg hunt starts at 11. We hope you can make it!!!
