Spring Is Here!

Hello! 
We are very excited in Preschool that spring is finally here (for good, we hope!). This week, the kids have been busy planting easter grass for our breakfast next weekend. We have started some journals and are very excited to share some photos with you once the grass starts to come up! They have also been 'planting' some flowers in pots in the sensory table, which has turned out to be the favorite indoor activity of the week!

This morning, we were able to take our bikes out into the parking lot and ride around for almost an hour before lunch! Everyone came in happy, hungry and a little exhausted. They are unbelievably excited to be out on bikes these days and it is really impressive to see how much each child has improved in their skills both on striders and pedal bikes!
Since it is St. Patrick's Day, a few of the children decided to work on painting a pot of gold! We gave them a fun example to look at and they practiced their observational skills by referencing our drawing for their own work. I think they did a wonderful job! 
Finally, I wanted to let you all know that I introduced my special "Mystery Bag" today, and your child will be brining it home soon! The idea is to find a special item from home and bring it to school in the bag! With a parent's help, each child should come up with three clues (which can be written and placed in the bag) so that we can guess what it  is! We are hoping to do this Tuesday and Wednesday nights, so that every child will get a turn. 

Thanks again for sharing your wonderful children with us!
