What does a plant look like? What does it need to grow? We learned about the parts of a plant, the plant life cycle and the difference between fruits and vegetables during a visit from the Cincinnati Museum Center. We rolled up our sleeves and spent some time digging in the dirt and planted our own seed to take home to add to our growing garden!
From Africa to Antarctica, we became part of the wild animal kingdom. We took an imaginary safari across Africa and looked through binoculars to see zebras, lions and more. We waddled like a penguin in the coldest place on Earth then we hopped on over to a continent with some unusual Down Under residents.

The Museum Center came to teach us all about Africa, Australia, and Antarctica! We learned about the different continents, their habitats and animals. There were lots of fun interactive learning activities, ask your pre-Ker what was their favorite part!
Miss Valerie from the Museum Center visited our classroom today with a really great program! The preschoolers discussed the difference between backyard animals and barnyard animals. They practiced sorting the animals based on where they live and we even got to see a real bat!
The first week of summer camp was full of adventures…the Children’s Museum Center joined our classroom to teach us about Wonderful Weather! We made our own snow, learned about the electricity that is created by lightening and experimented with the power of air and wind. We got a little messy as we dug for real night crawlers in the sensory table on the playground. Water Wednesday was a hit with Splish Splashing Fun in our bubble pools. We ended the week with a bike ride with our friends and a pizza party with popsicles! We’re looking forward to next week’s Cooking Camp!

The Cincinnati Museum Center visits to talk about our five senses
Today, the preschoolers had the chance to experience their 5 senses in a whole new way! Mr. Dan from the Cincinnati Museum Center was back again and proved to be as enthusiastic and exciting as ever. We enjoyed exploring the jobs of each of our senses and taking the time to understand how important those jobs truly are to us. From using special spy glasses to see the white light and rainbows that are all around us to training our ears to listen for different types of sounds. The children were excited to guess the secret smells and tastes that Mr. Dan brought along. Everyone had a chance to feel the funny vibrations of a tuning fork that tickled our hands and it was great to pet and visit with our friend Pokey the Turtle too! We look forward to more visits from the Cincinnati Museum Center in throughout the school year.
