It’s hard to believe that it’s already
spring! Hopefully it will feel like it
soon! We’re looking forward to spending
more time outdoors. Please continue to
pack your child’s snowpants, boots and mittens.
Themes
On March 2nd,
Mrs. B read The Foot Book to our class.
The children were very excited to have a guest reader! The fingerpaintings and words on the door to
our classroom depict the story One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. Watching Green Eggs and Ham on “Pajama
Day” was truly a special event!
On
March 16th and 17th, we had a special green snack and the
children searched for plastic coins that were left by the leprechauns! We made leprechaun stick puppets and used the
puppets while singing “I’’m a Little Leprechaun”.
Our
current theme “Eggs and Rabbits” will culminate with an egg hunt on April 1st
and another on April 2nd. During
center time, the children have had the opportunity to use rabbit stamps and egg
stamps in the writing center, paint a rabbit at the easel, lace eggs in the
manipulative area, look at books about eggs and rabbits and/or explore in the
sensory table filled with paper grass, stretchy rabbits, plastic eggs and other
seasonal items. The paper eggs that they
decorated using vinegar and tissue paper look beautiful on the bulletin
board! They had a lot of fun using
cookie cutters and pink and purple paint to decorate bags for the egg
hunts. They will also make rabbit ears
to wear. During circle time, we played
the game “Bunny, Bunny, Where is your egg?”
We’ll also sing the Bunny Pokey and several other songs.
Bunny Pokey
You put your bunny ears in.
You put your bunny ears out.
You put your bunny ears in
and you shake them all about.
You do the Bunny Pokey
and hop yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
Additional verses: You put your bunny tail in...
You put your bunny paws in... You put your bunny nose in...
We want to welcome two new students to the Steward Preschool! We are very excited to have Molly and Cam in our class!
Happy
spring!
