Great Week

This past week has been busier than ever with birthdays, Valentines and lots of fun learning.  
Check out our past week:

It was fun making heartshaped sandwiches for a  Valentine snack.

Q was for QUILT where we cut and glued patchwork on our Q shape. 

Heart necklaces were made to show our love.  It was fun to see patterning during the making of these necklaces too.

We made friendship bracelets and gave them to our friends. This also included patterning.  
I wish I could have captured the looks on their faces as each child received their friendship bracelet.

Each child proudly walked around and placed a Valentine in each other's bag.  They got such a kick out of sharing Valentines.

The Letter R was for RAIN.

We made homemade Valentines for our parents, which brings me to the next 2 pictures.

We learned how to make cakepops to add to the homemade cards.  This was no easy task, as it took 2 hours, but well worth the time to see our preschoolers at work.

Collectively, we did a group sponging activity to make a large heart poster. This was a 3 square foot poster.

We made silly heart puppets then ran around our classroom singing.


All the activities above, plus library trip, building castles and forts, making 2 mountain lands, designing a map and playing treasure dinosaur hunt, using our preschool workbooks to learn, pretending to be teachers to teach our friends, loads of outdoor play, then last but not least, celebrated 3 birthdays; teacher Cassy, teacher Patty and Noli (new blog of birthdays to follow).

Check out these two boys here playing with the two Mountain lands.  It covered our entire dining room and at one point, we had all 5 kids playing at once.

Two of our three year olds are working together here to do clean up, while singing the clean up song.  They were cooperative, and took turns using the broom and dustpan.


Ooops, it looks like some got under the carpet.

Finally, our last picture is of the children screaming, 
Happy Valentines Day!


From Patty Kakes Kids to all of you, enjoy!
