We held our Easter parties before Spring Break. The weather did not cooperate to hunt eggs outside, but the preschoolers still had fun hunting for eggs inside. We played some other fun games and ate great food. Thank you to the parents that helped with the parties. We had a lot of fun!
Kacie, the TK teacher's daughter, brought her baby goat to school for the TK students to see. After the TK students saw the goat, Kacie brought him to our room too. It was fun to see the goat and get the chance to pet it. The preschoolers thought it was funny that the goat wanted to suck on Kacie's fingers. Thank you, Kacie, for sharing your goat with us.
The librarians at the Newell Public Library invited us to come to the library for a Spring Story Hour. We walked to the library to hear stories about spring and Easter. The children were very excited about the many books displayed around the library. I encourage you to visit the library to check out some of these books with your child.
We are talking about the letter V and the sound it makes this week. One activity we did was make a little "volcano" with baking soda and vinegar. As you can see by their faces, the children were very excited when our volcano erupted.
The preschoolers have been having a great time dressing up in the dress up clothes this past month. The football jerseys, "princess" dresses and clip on ties have been the favorites.
The preschoolers loved April Fool's Day. They wanted it to continue for every day in April, but I can only chase spiders off my head all day for one day of the year. :) One of our preschoolers in the p.m. class fooled us at snack time. He told us he brought ice cream cones, but really they were cupcakes baked in ice cream cones. This was a very tasty April Fool's joke.
