December 3rd, 2008 Colors

For our colors theme this month, we decided to cut out shapes out of different colors of Jello Jigglers. This was a big hit! Not only did the kids have fun picking out and cutting their shapes, they had just as much fun eating them!
They also got to color and decorate Christmas trees and, at least for a few minutes, play outside. Not bad for the beginning of December! Here are a few photos of the fun.

November 2008 Thanksgiving Fun

For our last week in November, Lisa taught the lesson on Thanksgiving by giving the kids their own special feast, complete with turkey, potatoes and pumpkin pie!

Spring 2008 Field Trip

Last year we found it a bit hard to share photos of our pre-school adventures, so, in an effort to make up for the slacking, here they are this year! These are pictures of our hike up City Creek in May 2008. We had three preschoolers including Jacob, Aiden and Haiden, seen above.

Cheerio Necklaces and Gingerbread Men

So, it looks like this will be the best way to keep in touch about preschool and share pictures! I'll start out with pictures from two weeks ago when we learned about the five senses. We made Cheerio necklaces, colored pictures of healthy vegetables, made five sense gingerbread men (that smelt like yummy cinnamon) and played outside. Through it all, we had a great time learning! Enjoy the photos! Megan
