Preschool Theme: Feelings

At Preschool we celebrated Friendship Week. I felt that it was also fitting that we learned about Feelings at the same time. We all got to look at our faces in the mirror as we talked about some of the feelings we experience. 

It is okay to feel what we do, but it is not okay to be mean when we are angry. I like to give several examples for the kids to understand that concept. This is great to do at the beginning of the year, or as needed with certain children. 

I made these books for our younger kids so they can read them at home with their parents. 

Transportation Week: Sink or Float

Transportation Week: Sink or Float

We had Transportation Week at Preschool recently. We made Cardboard Cars, Painted with Trains and Car Wheels, and Color Matched the colors of the Stop Light. As a way to incorporate science, we had a Sink or Float Experiment. I thought for sure all the cars and trains would sink and only my boats would float. I was pleased to see that quite a few cars and trains remained floating. 

Each of the children predict whether they think the vehicle will sink to the bottom or float at the top of the water. I make sure to have a clear bowl for the kids to see around the table. 

During Free Play time, we bring out the water table and add some dish soap to make bubbles. Then the kids pretend they are at the car wash. This is another great way for the kids to explore on their own the concept of sink/float.
