Deserts and Earth Day

We started out this week by learning about deserts. We talked about what makes a desert a desert, animals and other things we would find there and what we must always bring with us if we go. (water!) The kids enjoyed making a desert scene with cactus, desert animals and real sand! We also reviewed our numbers 1-10 by playing a number cactus game.

On Wednesday we talked about what animals live in the desert and how they are able to survive. The kids did some sorting with different size lizards.

Since Earth Day is on Saturday, we had our Earth Day at preschool on Friday. We learned about recycling and why it is important for our planet and what might happen if we don't take care of our Earth.
The kids are becoming pros at painting! They painted and colored their Earth Day paper and enjoyed threading yarn around for a border.
