WEEK OF 2/18-2/20

TUESDAY~DRAMA

Drama! On D day during our drama time we practiced emotion with motion as rowed our boats down the stream (angrily/happily/merrily/grumpily/etc.). We also learned a new game "what are you doing?" and practiced being both on stage and in the audience. And to finish up we acted out a magical story of jumping beans and giants. 

WEDNESDAY~COOKING
After reading the story, Detective Small In The Amazing Banana Caper, we made banana bread!  Children were able to peel and mash bananas, measure and add ingredients, and mix everything together!  Be sure to ask your child the "secret ingredient" in our banana bread.

THURSDAY~TECHNOLOGY

Pre-K "A" used the laptop computers in our classroom.  Using the website, ABCya.com, the children played math games, including ones that worked on patterning, number recognition and numerical order. 

Pre-K "B" went to the Computer Lab and worked within the ABC-Mouse program and then got free time to create a picture on KidPix!

WEEK OF 2/10-2/14

After reading the story, The Naughty Monkeys, we make monkey bread!  The children helped mix a bag of cinnamon and sugar, cut biscuits and shake them in the sugar cinnamon mixture, and drizzle butter and brown sugar over them.  These were a BIG hit at snack time!

THURSDAY~DISCOVERY  We watched a video on the SMARTboard about hibernation and migration.  We then made Frozen Fruit Rings for the animals outside.  We practiced our fine motor skills with cutting different types of fruit and then we put all the fruit into a bunt-pan and we added water to the fruit mixture and froze it.  Once completely frozen, we will put the fruit rings outside for the animals to enjoy!
