Launch Day!

Here is a wrap-up video of the rocket launch day last Thursday. I have to admit, it was my favorite day EVER as a preschool teacher.

Preschool Bucket List

As we near the end of the year, we realized there is so much we though about doing that we did not quite get around to doing. So, we created a "Bucket List" of things we definitely want to accomplish before this school year ends. Here are a few things we have managed to check off our list.

HATCHING CHICKENS

 Angie Boardman offered to share her egg-hatching project with the preschool. She is hatching chicks for her home, but generously shared the eggs, incubator and information with us. We have been making predictions about how many will hatch, what color the chickens will be, and if they will hatch on time or not.

We now know, it takes 21 days to hatch and we should expect to hear peeping in our room on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. After they hatch, we'll put them in a "brooder box" and Angie will be taking them to her home after school on Thursday. We have a chart in the classroom that we have been using to count down the days. We also have used this opportunity to learn the names of the days of the week.

AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR THANK YOU

 In order to thank the authors who responded to our request of book donations to the new library. She came in and shared some of the books with the kids.

 

Next, half of the kids "Illustrated" the letters T H A N K and Y O U. The other half of the kids "Authored" an invitation for the authors and illustrators to join us for a Tea at the library on June 18th.

Next we took a picture of all of us with the books and the THANK YOU, which will be the cover of the invitation that we send.

MORE LIFE PROCESSES: TADPOLE TO FROG

Grandma Rita brought in tadpoles (and a few eggs that had not hatched yet) in order for us to watch how they change into frogs. We will feed them and watch them change over the next few weeks.

Hopefully, we will have frogs before preschool is through.
