Turn-Over Wednesday!

By -
I hope everyone had a restful and wonderful Thanksgiving last week!

After a long weekend and an Ice day yesterday, we did some fun cooking to kick off Wednesday and some train building to travel into Thursday!! We also got started making our letter G with glitter and glue for the letter of the week. The preschoolers loved seeing what would pop up after they covered their glue with beautiful glitter.

Using an apple peeler to make our apple turn-overs!

Very fascinated that it makes the apples into spirals! :)
 

 Taking turns using the peeler.

LOTS of glitter and glue on the preschoolers and the paper!

 



 
Preschoolers have been doing a lot with marbles and shoots as well as trains and building tracks. They are great builders and problem solvers.

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.
