What a beautiful weekend! I hope that everyone got out to play and enjoy the weather. Last week, we were scientists in preschool. We learned about the water cycle and big words like evaporation, solids and liquids. We even enjoyed a few experiments such as freezing a liquid into a solid and keeping observations of our dyed water, to see if water truly evaporates. It was great watching the kids run to the window to see how much water had evaporated from the day before. I can't wait to see what we will find tomorrow morning!

We learned about the letter I. Since igloo tied into our ice/polar theme and begins with the letter I, I thought it would be fun to make an igloo out of marshmallows and icing. The kids loved this activity! We also learned about polar bears and used cotton to help make our polar bears that are on display in our room. Watching live polar bears via web cam, during feeding time was neat too! Apparently, they enjoy carrots! Who knew?

Mrs. Gifford was in to help us all with the letter R and really had us giggling with her rabbit race! Everyone did a great job cheering each other on and waiting their turn! We even got to celebrate another birthday this week! Happy Birthday Marco!

I can't wait to start our week tomorrow! Enjoy your evening.
