Colorful week!

By -

 
Another wacky weather week for sure! Between delays, warm ups, and cool downs the preschoolers have been having a great time!
This week we made some fun pink, red, and purple colored rice to decorate our sensory table with for Valentines day. We got to see the rice magically turn colors when we shook it in bags! We couldn't wait for it to dry so we could play with it!





Mrs. Ashley also did a fun project with the rainbow. First she read the book "A Rainbow of my Own" and then the preschoolers got to create their very own rainbow out of footloops! (We had to taste test before we started the project!)













**Important Reminders**

-Valentine's Day is this coming Thursday! Please check your student's mail box for a list of both classes names and spellings if you are interested in making Valentines for next week!

- February Break is the week of the 18th!

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.
