Things That Grow: Beans

3/24/2017

This week, we began trying to grow beans. Each preschooler has a bean that is in a plastic bag in the window. The preschoolers added three cotton balls that they soaked in water to the bag. Hopefully, in the next few days, we will be able to see the bean plants beginning to sprout.

Comparing Weight

In our science center right now, you will see our preschoolers exploring weight using our large scale. The fun thing about this scale is that you can move the buckets to five different locations on each side and that can change how the weight of the scale's arm effects the total weight. It's a great tool to use to explore weight.

Last Tuesday, preschoolers hunted for shadows in our classroom. Preschoolers worked in pairs and in small groups to find shadows and then they tried to figure out where the source of light was coming from.

To further explore reflections, today the preschoolers drew self-portraits while looking at their reflection in a mirror. The finished self-portraits are currently on display in the hallway. Please check them out when you are at Epiphany!

Sharing Snack

This week's story in Religion was the story of when Jesus shared five loaves of bread and two fish and was able to feed many, many people. On Thursday, we celebrated this story by having a "sharing snack." Each student brought in a Ziploc baggie full of items to share: raisins, pretzels, crackers, dry cereal. We combined all of the items into one big snack that we shared. Each preschooler was able to eat as much as they wanted to and there were many leftovers to take home.

Shadow Exploration

3/6/2017

0 Comments

 
While in the science center, preschoolers are able to explore making shadows using flashlights. They can trace the shadow and then we add it to the shadow museum on the wall. It's a great way to explore light and shadow. It is also a great way to practice problem solving and teamwork because they need to figure out who will hold the flashlight, who will make the shadow, and who will do the tracing.

Last week, we learned a lot about the sacrament of Baptism. Thank you to all who brought in pictures from your child's Baptism. It was so fun to see how they have grown up since their Baptism!

If you haven't sent in pictures to share, there is still time. We will share any Baptism pictures that are sent in.
