F is for Flute

We read a story about Fifi Ferret's Flute to learn about the letter F and the sound it makes. After we read the story, Megan played her flute for us and the preschoolers tried to guess the song she was playing. Some of the children were very good at guessing the correct song. Thank you, Megan for taking time to play this game with us.

Learning About Yellow

Shaking up a batch of yellow pudding for snack.
Learning about yellow sunflowers.
Playing in the yellow bus.
Dancing with the yellow suns we made.
Painting with yellow paint.

Yellow was the color of week which had us doing lots of yellow activities to learn this color. In addition to the above activities, we also read stories about things that are yellow, drew yellow suns for our plant pictures and watched some youtube videos about the color yellow. We are also learning the colors in Spanish and sign language.

Investigating Apples


We are learning about the color red and beginning to talk about plants and seeds. To tie in both topics, I told the children a story about a little red house with no doors or windows and a star inside. The house was an apple. After the story, the preschoolers got a closer look at the star and seeds with magnifying glasses. We also talked about other foods that have seeds inside.

Football Readers


Every Friday, a Mustang football player reads us a story. We thank Coach Wilken and the Mustang football players for taking time to read to us. Go Mustangs!

Our year is off to a great start. We have 19 preschoolers in the A.M. class and 19 preschoolers in the P.M. class. I tried to get a picture when everyone was present, but was unable to do so. I will post more group pictures later in the year.
