In March, we added a show and tell to our routine. The children have the opportunity to bring in something from home every Wednesday. Everyone is able to ask questions and learn about each others special item. We also started doing circle time. It ususally takes place after snack or before lunch. We do letter of the day, number of the day for our caterpillar. We practiced sounds and found different things that start with the same letter.
Many different activities have been going on, on Older Floor. We set up a Doctor's office/Hospital so the children are able to learn and act out the many different roles and scenarios. They had lots of fun with this! Each day we try to have a dance party. The kids have been so interested in the "Gummy Bear" song and pretty much any song from Frozen. With the nice weather, we've had the chance to walk to Ashland Park. With so many puddles all the children enjoy going outside and testing out their rubber boots and splashing around! All of the children have been interested in learning different things from around the world. We've explored looking at the flags and their national anthems.
In April we planned an Easter hunt and it turned out to be such a great experience for our newer staff and the kids! Kristina set up a huge Easter egg hunt in the play yard for our preschool children. There were 56 plastic eggs hidden around the yard with candy in them. Each child was able to find 2. There was a lot of smiles and excitement from everyone!
The ZOO field trip was a lot of fun! Getting on the big yellow bus is always so exciting for the kids and arriving at the Zoo was great as well. Seeing all the animals and the polar bears swimming around left lots of the children in mouth dropping stares!
