This week our activities revolved around the zoo…From letters and numbers to crafts and science lessons!
To help us with correct scissor grip, we put smiley face stickers on our thumbs. The goal is to keep our thumbs to the sky, always looking to see that smiley face!
Easter came early this year at Creative Tots! Our Preschool class celebrated by doing Easter themed activities all week!
We have stayed busy in the PM Preschool room this winter! From acting out winter literature, to learning about arctic animals… the kids are having a blast and of course, learning a lot!
Arctic animal bingo!
We focused in on the penguin for our science day! The kids learned that penguins have a layer of blubber to keep them warm. To help them understand this concept, we did an experiment to show the kids what blubber feels like for the penguins! We had two ice cold bowls of water. One bowl had a bag of coconut oil in it, to act as the blubber. They put one hand in each bowl and decided that the bowl with pretend blubber kept them warmer!
We then put a block between our legs so we could waddle like penguins!
We counted goldfish into the penguins belly’s!
