A is for Apple


Today we conducted our first science lesson. We will do one every Friday that goes along with the letter of the week. We each got three apple slices and put them on a paper towel. We left one alone, sprayed lemon juice on one, and sprayed water on the last one. We guessed what would happen to the apples and then came back to check on them a few times. The kids noticed that one in particular turned brown (the one we left alone). Someone else said that "the water one turned brown too". The one with the lemon juice stayed white and they thought that was funny! Now, tasting the one with the lemon juice on it was even funnier!!

All About Me


Michael, Kaden, Carly, and Kate each made a paper doll of themselves. This helped us learn what we look like. For example, our eye color, hair color, and different types of clothing. Didn't they turn out adorable?

Lunch Bunch


Our first lunch bunch! If only you all could hear the conversations these guys have...it

is adorable and really quite interesting!

Working Hard


Michael, Kate, Kaden, and Carly are at our work table working on a book called "My Book of School Words". These kids love to "read" to us and are so enthusiastic about it.

Our First Day of Preschool!!!


And a perfect day it was! We have such a great group of kids...

Michael, Kaden, Kenzie, Kate, and Carly. It was a fun day getting all set in our routines and learning about each other. I'm really looking forward to a great year of preschool!
