I hope that everyone enjoyed their three day weekend! We all enjoyed sharing what we did over the weekend. It sounds like there was a lot of swimming going on!!
We continued to work on counting and using numbers this week. We were very fortunate to have a beautiful mix of sea shells, brought in by Tyler, which we used to compare sizes and shapes. The children were amazed to hear the ocean in some of the shells. They also enjoyed exploring with their senses a conch shell and a horseshoe crab.
We continued practicing fine motor skills when making our jelly fish, sharks and whales for our MARE board. Stringing beads for tentacles made our jellyfish look whimsical. We loved getting our hands dirty with the puffy paint that we made for our sharks and snipping paper is always fun.
On Tuesday, everyone did their very best to stay quiet and listen to some very important information during a bus safety drill. Ocean Night will be held on June 9th at 6pm. Field Day will be held June 16th with a rain date of June 17th. This year preschool will be joining the others at the lake to enjoy the festivities. I will be sending out more information as the date approaches. I hope that everyone enjoys their weekend!
