WEEK OF 11/18-11/22

MONDAY~DISCOVERY

Our Discovery Activity today involved M& M candies and Skittles candies.  Using a small amount of water in a clear cup, children chose 2 different primary colors of candy to put into the water.  Before adding the candy to the water, we made predictions about what would happen.  As they dropped the candy into the water, the children observed the color coating on the candy coming off and turned the water the color of the candy.  We then gave each partner group a spoon and they stirred the water, mixing the 2 different primary colors, and observed a third color appear.

Week of 11/11-11/15

Monday- Swimming was cancelled due to the cold water.  Pre-K B played a game called "My Party"!  Make sure to ask how we played the game.  Pre-K "A" used a mystery box filled with objects to play a game identifying beginning and/or ending sounds of the objects in the box.

Tuesday- Drama-- This week we played a game called : What are you doing? Ms. Schroeder chose an action (brushing teeth, washing a dog, blowing a bubble-gum bubble) and the kids guessed... once they knew what she was doing they joined in the action. Everyone enjoyed blowing bubbles as big as our heads and letting them "pop!"

Wednesday-  Cooking!  Today we made our very own hot pretzels from scratch!  We read Walter the Baker  and we measured out the yeast, the flower, the water, the salt and sugar!  We then got to shape our dough into whatever we wanted!  They were delicious!
