Last week of Preschool!

What a wonderful year it has been! The kids have grown so much, I know they will do great in kindergarten!!!

Here are some pics from the last week of school. We had a really fun time at our "jungle party."

Desert, not to be confused with Dessert, because they are totally different

Okay, so the desert is not the most exciting thing to me, but the kids had a good time leaning about it. :) We talked about what makes a desert a desert and what we might find there (or here, since we live in one). The kids loved adding real sand to the desert pictures that they were coloring. We also talked about all the desert animals that live here. (Paytyn kept yelling out "camels!" :) I had to explain that camels do live in the desert, but a different desert, far away. "like Egypt" she said. Yep, that's right :)

The kids played a number sequencing game with cacti. They worked great together and were very fast at putting them in the right order.

(The pics are not downloading.... Sorry, I will try again in a bit.)

Farm Week

 
We had a fun week! We learned all about farms and all the animals that live there. We focused one day on pigs. The kids enjoyed painting some "mud" on their pigs after they colored them.
 


 
 
The kids used markers to trace the lines on their farms. Markers are a special treat at preschool. :)




They had a great time filling their farms with yummy snacks and toys.
