WEEK OF 10/22-10/26

MONDAY~TECHNOLOGY and TEAMWORK ACTIVITY
Each class (Pre-K A and Pre-K B) had the opportunity to visit the Computer Lab. We got to explore on KidPix and create our own masterpieces or decorate a virtual pumpkin!
 






We also had time to do a "teamwork" activity with both classes together.   Standing in a circle with hands held, we passed a hoola hoop around the circle without letting go of anyone's hands.  Talk about teamwork!!!  The slide show below shows our teamwork!

TUESDAY~ART
Marshmallow Sculptures, Painting, Clay, Drawing, Kidpix on the Computer--OH MY!!




WEDNESDAY~COOKING
 Today's cooking activity began with the story, The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and THE BIG HUNGRY BEAR.   We then made shortcakes to eat with strawberries and whipped cream for afternoon snack.  This was one delicious activity!






















THURSDAY~SWIMMING
We continue to work on the importance of blowing bubbles when we put our face in/head under the water.  Also, we worked on a flutter kick (Freestyle kick), focusing on keeping our legs straight when kicking in the water. 

FRIDAY~DISCOVERY
We conducted a very exciting discovery project/experiment!  We filled our plates with milk, added the food coloring (without mixing it together) and then dropped in a few drops of dish-soap!  Much to our excitement, the colors moved all on their own!  Make sure to ask me why the colors moved and mixed without us touching it!
(the dish soap reacts with the fat in the milk, adding the food coloring allows us to see the reaction!)
