A little of This and a little of That

By: Miss Christa

Hello there and happy wednesday to all!!! This week we have been talking about Spring and what happens when the snow melts, animals return, and plants grow. Today we talked about chicks and where they come from, as the chicks began to hatch I noticed that each preschooler started to understand the process of life. The mother chicken lays the egg, the chick grows in the egg and with any luck the chick will hatch, dry off and be a very cute fluff ball. I also shared a dancing chicken I had brought in yesterday (the chicken does a little dance and during the dance lays three eggs), this action really sparked some of the preschoolers interests as well.  After we ventured to see the chicks we played in the water table taking turns pouring water into the water wheels. Trying to keep three toddlers dry while playing in water is almost pointless!! :-) Hence the lack of clothing after, I helped them out of their wet shirts and they did the rest!!!! It is so natural and freeing for the little ones to be this way, they ran around being silly for some time after.
