Our caterpillars arrived this week! The preschoolers will be making observations of the caterpillars as they change over the next few weeks. Right now, they are very small. Over the next few weeks, they will grow bigger and bigger. After they become butterflies, we will release them outside.

Growing Plants in Preschool

Unfortunately, we are not having much luck growing lima beans this year. Only one bean has sprouted. Although, it is fun to watch that one plant as it gets bigger and bigger.

We are, however, having great luck with our grass seeds. The grass is already growing quite tall. This week, the preschoolers have been making observations of their plants and using rulers to see how tall the plants are.

Measuring Ourselves

4/25/2017

This week, each preschooler was given a piece of yarn that had been cut to match their height. They then used this yarn to find out how their height compared to other items in the classroom. They found out how many of an item that they would need in order for it to be the same as their own height. They used any material in the classroom that they wanted to make their comparisons. The preschoolers had a lot of fun making comparisons and measurements.

Bird Feeders

Last week, we made bird feeders using yarn and dry cereal. We were excited to hang them up but it was very rainy for the majority of the week.  Friday, we finally got the chance to hang them up in the tree. If you are in the courtyard, look in the tree. You might just see a bird snacking on one of our bird feeders.

This morning, preschoolers were able to try using plastic Easter eggs to stamp using paint. It was fun and quite a bit messy! When the paintings dry, you will be able to see them on display in our hallway.

Easter Eggs and Letters

In our sensory table you will find Easter basket grass and plastic Easter eggs. These Easter eggs have an upper-case or lower-case letter on them. Students have to find the Easter eggs in the grass and then try to find their corresponding letter. It's a fun way to practice letter recognition!
