Everyone was so happy to be together this morning. We enjoyed plenty of new games and insect themed centers during our free play. The kitchen was a bustling Breakfast Cafe, and the science center was full of insect specimens to explore. When we headed out to the playground we were on a mission to find some roly poly bugs. A few years ago I found these adorable Roly Poly Playground cases at Bass Pro Shops. They are perfect for any preschool entomologist. On any given day the playground is teaming with roly poly bugs. The church must have had the exterminator out recently because we only found one roly poly during our hunt. We were searching the garden, turning over rocks, looking at the grass' edge, along sidewalks, and nothing! We will have to give it another try on Friday. The one roly poly we did find seemed to enjoy his time in the playground and we enjoyed observing him. Back inside we enjoyed some story time on the carpet and then we moved over to the big table for a fine motor project. We have been working so hard all year on cutting with scissors. Today we stepped it up a notch and tried our hands at cutting circles. We then labeled our circles with the letters in our names and glued them together to make the cutest name caterpillars. The girls did 100% of the work and I think they turned out absolutely adorable. We finished off the morning with some Butterfly paintings. The colors were so bright and they butterflies look beautiful hanging from our ceiling. We are all looking forward to touring the annual Oak Hills Preschool Art Museum on Friday. You are welcome to come visit any time during the morning or at pick up time. The museum will be available all day. We will take a tour as a class and see if we can find some of our special projects from the year. In the meantime perhaps you will have better luck on a roly poly bug hunt at your house. They a nice little bugs to observe. See you Friday!

Why Blog?Here you will find little snippets of our days together. When my children were in preschool and would come home I would always ask, "So, what did you do today?". All they ever said was, "Played." That didn't tell me much. I hope this blog will be a place to share what we have done and help you ask more directed questions of your child. You will see first hand just what we do after you kiss your little one goodbye in the morning. It will also be a great place to visit and see just how much your child has grown and learned throughout the year. Archives
