FRIDAY NEWSLETTER
Friday, March 11, 2011

The old saying says, “If March comes in like a lion, it will go out as a lamb.” Here in preschool we have been charting the weather every morning, just to see if this old saying is true. We all can’t wait for spring to get here. We continued to work on fine motor, cutting, coloring and gluing skills. Our fingerprint lambs are hanging in our classroom and look adorable. We also continued to work on counting, numbers and of course rhyming. We practiced writing our names and some of us can do this without using a name card to copy from.
This week, we learned the different parts of a plant and how flowers and plants grow. We performed an experiment with white carnations, which we placed in either red water or blue water, to answer the question, “Does the stem of a flower work as a straw?” We collected data and drew pictures to enter in our journal of what we thought would happen and what did actually happen. We always love being Scientists and I always stress to the children to ask why and to check if it’s true!
We got to be outside just one day this week because of the weather but we still had some good fun indoors. Everyone enjoyed playing Limbo and London Bridge. We did a bit of dancing and singing too! Thank you for the Tricky Tray donations. Our basket is coming along and we will continue accepting donations. I hope you all enjoy your weekend.
