Filed under: Uncategorized — motzcp @ 5:49 pm

Last week we learned all about gardening and flowers. We discussed the parts of a flower, explored real flowers and even planted some. We went to the courtyard a few times and walked through our garden and talked about the different vegetables we are growing. We also showed our little friends the rain barrel and how it works! We made flowers from coffee filters and beautiful trees!  What a fun week we had!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We love Mom! May 15, 2012

Filed under: Uncategorized — motzcp @ 12:52 am

Last week was all about Mom! Our Pre-Preppers enjoyed talking about our moms. We discussed what she does for each of us and how we help them out! We loved giving our classroom baby dolls a bath, just like Mommy does. Our friends worked very hard on a gift for Mom on her special day. We took Epsom Salt and food coloring to make pretty colored bath salt to relax in! We hope all of our Moms had a wonderful Mother’s Day and we thank you for all that you do!

The past two weeks our little Pre-Preppers have had an awesome time learning all about bugs, insects and dinosaurs. We discussed the body parts of insects and bugs. We also learned that they can be helpful to us! We really enjoyed being able to examine them up close and we had an exciting time on our bug hunt! Next, we learned all about dinosaurs. We made dinosaur fossils in play-doh, fed a T-Rex, and made dinosaur skeletons. Our friends were introduced to some new words during our discussion about dinosaurs. We discovered what extinct, fossils and paleontologist meant!

Our  friends made a lot of joyful noises this week as we explored music! We counted music notes, explored different instruments, and also discussed sound and rhythm.  Our Pre-Preppers loved playing instruments in our very own marching band. Our friends listened to different composers and even painted while listening to a little Mozart.

Our friends were really going places while exploring transportation. We loved counting and sorting sailboats by color. Also, we looked at pictures of different modes of transportation and sorted them into groups of whether we used them on land, air or water. Our Pre-Preppers loved making sailboats, racing cars in the gym and playing with trucks in the sand table. Our favorite activity this week had to be our car wash!

 

 

 

 

Community Helpers February 27, 2012

Our Pre-Preppers had a blast learning about community helpers. We discussed fire fighters, police, and postal workers. Our friends painted fire trucks and learned how fire fighters keep us safe. We had a very special guest come and talk to us about what police do. Officer Motz from the Greenville City Police Department came in and we got to talk to him and learn what he does to keep us safe! We enjoyed reading books, and practicing how to stop, drop and roll!!
