Easter Party!!!

We had a fun Easter party at Miss Amy's class!  We painted Easter Eggs.


Such good artists!
We played a jelly bean sorting game.  The kids loved sorting the colors and finding out which color had the most. 

 
After eating our jelly beans, we had an Easter Egg Hunt. 
Such a fun day at Miss Amy's ABC Preschool!

Eggs Hatch!

We have been talking about the many different animals that hatch from eggs, including chickens!   It was fun to have the children guess whether chickens can lay green eggs...and it was even more fun to show them GREEN CHICKEN EGGS!  First we looked at the eggs in the fridge...some even had speckles.  Next, we went outside and fed the chickens.  Then we checked the nesting boxes for eggs and were lucky enough to find some. Such a fun day at Miss Amy's Preschool!

St. Patrick's Day

We had a blast at Miss Amy's ABC Preschool today!  We made shamrocks with THE CUTEST faces.  The kids loved making these and spent a while reading them stories and playing with them once they were all put together. 

We played the hot and cold game with a little leprechaun.  We would hide the leprechaun around the class room, and the students got to take turns finding him based on our hot and cold directions.  The students were so smart! 


For snack time we started with some white frosting, turned it yellow with a little food coloring, and then added some blue.  The students LOVED that it turned green....it was like magic.
Yellow + Blue = GREEN!

 

The best part was the yummy green frosted cookies at the end. 
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lions & Tigers & Bears...OH MY!

We talked about animals today at Miss Amy's ABC Preschool.  Each of the students got to bring a stuffed animal to school.  We talked about the animals habitat, what they eat, the sound they make, and all sorts of fun facts.  I learned some new facts and think the kiddos did too.   They were pretty surprised to find out that whales can't breath under water!

1, 2, 3 say I love ANIMALS!

Sink or Float

Today at Miss Amy's Preschool we had a fun experiment!  We placed a bunch of items in a large tub of water to see if they would sink or float.  First we made our predictions...


Then we tested our ideas!  The things that surprised the kids the most were the cucumber, the candles, and the index card...which all floated!  I thought the legos would sink but they floated.  It was a fun day at preschool today!
