Happy Tuesday

By: Miss Christa
Hi and happy Tuesday to everyone,
Today was a very busy day!! Seedling viewing, outside play and garden prep, and PE with Miss Kathy!!
This week is garden week here at the Preschool, Kerri Ann and Miss Michelle have added garden soil to our garden plots yesterday and are starting the process of squaring off the plots so we can plant the seeds. Last week the toddlers helped me plant miniature sunflower seeds in peat pods, today we checked on the seeds and it looks like we will have a good turn out. My plan for the seeds will be to plant them around the north and west fence line so we can keep an eye on their growth. The sunflowers will only grow around two feet tall so the little ones will have a great view. once the flowers have reached maturity we can dry the seeds and feed them to the birds or just eat them ourselves, ill probably use some of them in future projects as well. I will post some pictures on the blog of their reactions to seeing the tiny seedlings.

The toddlers helped me get a few things done outside today and found exciting things to play with as well, take a look at a few fun pix.

PE Fun Pix!! First we each played with a plastic snake, a creepy crawly insect, and an insect that has wings. Then we were the itsy bitsy spiders and went up and down a imaginary rain spout. Lastly we rolled balls around on he floor... these were special balls one side was bouncy ball material and the other side was squishy so when they rolled they would go all over the place and not in a straight line!!
