Seeds to Grass

So today we learned that if you plant a little tiny seed it will grow into a plant, with soil, water and light. A tiny miracle if you really think about it. So we went outside and explored the grass roots, critters, stems and enviornment. We also learned grass is soft and cool to touch. It was a fun day to create our own pot and then plant our own grass, good luck with the grass kiddos.

Bird Games

So today we had fun creating our own bird. And then we used its feet to make "bird prints" all over our paper. Then we played Bird Bingo and Pick a Bird Graph. The kids had fun learning why birds have different feet and what they use them for. Then "Mud" Elleighs Great-Grandpa brought in some home-made icecream to share with everyone. Wow it is great to be a superkid!

Birds

Today we learned how birds are hatched from eggs. We also learned birds use their feathers and wings to help them fly. Birds can also be great swimmers. Then we used our senses to play a game where Ms. Kristi hid items inside some eggs and we tried to guess what was in the egg. This was great fun the kids just loved the guessing game. Thanks for coming to school today and remember the tuition is due at the first of the month if you have not paid already.

Fall Registration

Finally Fall Registration is here. I am really excited to be holding two classes next year. For those who are not familiar with me. I have always had a desire to be a school teacher. So I started college taking the courses necessary for this degree then went into pharmacy assistance then motherhood. I have 8 years experience in early childhood education and have a strong love for these little children. I have been running my own preschool for 3 years and now that my kids are getting older I am excited to be able to focus on this career.

To register you will need to come and get an Information Form fill it out and pay the registration fee then you are set. I want to give those currently in my class first choice to the classes. Then on April 1st I will open up the registration to those who have verbally-registered with me. Then on April 7th I will open it up to those who have not contacted me so far. Here is the low down for next years courses. There will be two classes to choose from one will be held on Monday and Wednesday from 10-12. The next will be held on Tuesday and Thursday from 10-12. There is a $40 non-refundable registration fee which includes supply expenses and it will secure your spot in the class you sign up for. The monthly tuition will be $55 due at the first of the month. The only other fees there will be is a $20 field-trip fee due the first week of school and then at the end of the year there will be a yearbook & video that you will have the option to purchase. Each class will have 10 students and I have 1 part-time helper for each of the classes.

I would like to thank you for the incredible interest many of you have shown toward my preschool and look forward to getting to know you better. If you have any further questions then please don't hesitate to call Kristi@756-6879.

Spring Time

So today Ms. Kristi got spring fever and changed the subject from clouds to spring time. We had a great time as we went on a spring hunt. We went outside and looked for signs of spring. Then we sang the spring song that goes like this:
Hello Springtime, Hello Springtime, Hello Springtime, We're glad springtime is here.
Then we replaced the springtime with other signs of spring like greengrass, tulips, birds and so on. It was fun wasn't it kiddos!

However the Easter Party was a smashing hit today as we colored easter eggs, then we painted a sun catcher and then hit the park for a great easter egg hunt. Thank you parents for helping with the eggs and Tara for hiding the eggs. We had a great time celebrating a wonderful holiday. Love you kiddos more then you know. Ms. Kristi

St. Patricks Day

Today we had a great time as we talked about Leprecans and rainbows. We learned a song to the tune of Jingle bells that goes like this.
Leprechaun, Leprechaun,
Oh, where can you be?
Come a little closer now,
Don’t be afraid of me.
Leprechaun, Leprechaun,
You bring luck my way.
I’d really like to see you
On this St. Patrick’s Day

Kite Flying

My Kite
My kite is up so high.
My kite is up so high.
Oh my, just watch it fly.
My kite is up so high.

My kite is falling down.
My kite is falling down.
Oh no, it’s down so low.
My kite is falling down.

The wind has caught my kite.
The wind has caught my kite.
What fun, I’m on the run.
The wind has caught my kite.

My kite is up so high.
My kite is up so high.
Oh my, just watch it fly.
My kite is up so high.

Sing to the tune of
The Farmer in the Dell

More Shapes

Today we talked some more about shapes we learned a little song that goes like this:

A diamond, a circle, a square;
Johnny has gone to the fair.
A crescent, an oval, a star;
Johnny has traveled so far.

Love you kiddos hope you had a great time at school today. I will see you all on Wednesday. Remember shapes are all around keep your eyes wide open.

Shapes All Around

Today we learned alot about shapes. We learned that there are shapes all around us in this world. We learned that we can eat all different kinds of shapes and they can taste as yummy as rice krispie treats. We then made our own shapes from our bodies. If you look real close in this photo you will see a circle within a circle. Then we made felt story boards so that we can see how putting different shapes together we can make almost anything.

Valentines Day Party

Wahoo! Who doesn't love a good party. A party with candy, cookies, friends, and fun! Well I know of 8 kids that loved the party we had today. Today we celebrated the love in the world. We expressed to each other how much we appreciate each other. The cookies we made and decorated was really yummy and we learned a new sharing song. Thanks kiddos for being so great.

Mailing some love

Today we had a great time sending those we love a little valentine created by ourselves. As we did this we learned what things we have to have on an envelope for the mailman to be able to deliver the package or envelope. We learned to put the red flag up on the mailbox so the postman knows there is something to deliver. It was fun creating something for someone we love then we played the little hearts are jumping game.

Fishy Fishy Feb 6th

Did you know that fish are backboned animals. They are also coldblooded animals that use their fins gills to turn in the water. They can live in lakes, oceans, streams, ponds, and fish bowls. They can be great pets. They can be all different colors. Most fish are eatible, yummy, and very good for your body. These are the things we learned in preschool today about fish. We went fishing and we all caught a fish- we loved that.

Different Homes

Today we learned how there are many different kind of homes in our world. There are homes made of sand, shells, wood and water. We learned alot about bee's and hives. We learned a little fingerplay that goes like this. This is my behive, (make fist with one hand) But where are the bees? (say words loudly) Hidden inside where nobody sees. (whisper). One, two, three, four, five, (pop out fingers one at a time) There they go, off to the trees.
