100 day in preschool!


Looking over our 100 items!
On Thursday the 4's class celebrated 100 day! Each child brought 100 items from home. We had legos, blueberries, toilet paper sheets, pennies, gum balls from a sweet gum tree, M & M's, just to name a few! We counted to 100 by ones, fives, tens, and twenties. We talked about addition, subtraction, and multiplication, we made counting to 100 books, and we ate pizza to celebrate!
It was a fun morning!
Here we're busy working on our 100 counting book. We made these books by stamping 10 stamps on each page. Some of the children extended the activity by writing, by tens, the numbers to get to 100.
Next week we begin a study of art! We'll visit a local art museum, have one of our very talented former parents do an art enrichment with the class and we'll celebrate the end of the unit with an art gallery opening! It's going to be fun!

Volcano!

We had a lot of fun with "tall" painting! These turned out great and even the kids who don't normally "do" art, had fun with it!
I love to end our study of dinosaurs with an erupting volcano. This year we were all surprised by the explosion! So much fun!
