Another busy day in the Young 3's class. We enjoyed making paper plate flowers, working with play dough, using glitter flower stickers, and making prints with the sun. We had a blast making sun prints this morning. This was a new science experiment for me to try with the children. I had no idea if it would work or not. To our surprise it worked!. We each had an opportunity to find an item or two in the classroom that we wanted the sun to "take a picture of". Then we placed our objects on the special sun print paper and placed it in the sun for two minutes. We explored the garden a bit as the sun did its job. Then we dipped our prints in water to halt the development process and set them to dry. The children really enjoyed the whole experinece and made some pretty cool pictures in the process Our paper plate flowers and sticker fun gave our fine motor muscles a nice little work out too. We topped off our morning with some play dough play. I hope you all enjoy the weekend. Hopefully the pollen will begin to subside soon. So many of us are suffering with allergies. I'm looking forward to next week as we explore worms. And, yes! We will have real worms in class to investigate.

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
