The Wheels on the Bus

Thanks to our good friends at Bishop Kelley High School, we were able to sing, "The Wheels on the Bus" on an actual bus! We sang, walked around the bus, listened to the horn, watched the doors open and close, and asked the bus driver so many great questions. Thanks again for the fun treat, BK! Check the All Saints Catholic School Facebook page for the video of our song! 

Why read on the floor when you can read in a laundry basket?

"Look, Look, Look!"

This morning, one student spotted a bird flying above the playground. He wanted all of his friends to see it too. A group watched and followed the bird around the playground.

Then the guessing started. Many students hoped it was an eagle. We love being outside! We are not just playing- we are learning too! 

Welcome to Pre-K!

Welcome to Pre-K! Mrs. Brown and I are ready to get this year started! We are looking forward to playing outside, playing in centers, reading stories and getting to know our new class. 

Weather

 We did an experiment with shaving cream, water, and food coloring. We filled a vase with clouds (shaving cream) and precipitation (blue food coloring) and discussed what we thought would happen. It rained!

Our experiment turned into another experiment. One student wondered what would happen to the blue "rain" if we added another color. Soon we began adding more food coloring to the vase and watching the colors change!

We used the shaving cream for another activity that day. We practiced writing our letters and names on the desks.

We talked about wind moving all around us. We made windsocks and tested them out! 

Dr. Seuss

We recently spent time celebrating Dr. Seuss. We did a few activities based on one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books, The Cat in the Hat. We made hats using Oreos, Lifesavers and frosting. We also made Thing 1 and Thing 2 using handprints.

Ash Wednesday

"Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

Prayers for Vocations

Last week was Catholic Schools Week. I asked each student what they want to be or do when they grow up. We attached their responses to balloons and released them, along with the rest of the All Saints students. 

Nursery Rhymes and Classic Stories

Last week we talked about Nursery Rhymes and Classic Stories. We turned our dramatic play center into Goldilocks and the Three Bears, tasted porridge, acted out Hey Diddle Diddle with puppets, and painted our own dish that ran away with the spoon. We also made houses out of straw, sticks, and bricks just like the three little pigs. We even had our own Humpty Dumpty that had a great fall right in our classroom! 

Winter

 

We had a great first week back after Christmas Break! We had Pajama Day and turned our Dramatic Play center into a Hot Cocoa Stand. This semester we have added "libraries" to our classroom. The kids love to sit and read in their own laundry basket with pillows!




 

We talked about animals that hibernate during the winter. We turned the lights off and students picked from several different animals.
