Dinos everywhere!!

By -


This past week the preschoolers wrapped up their 2 week long discovery of dinosaurs and volcanoes with Mrs. Ashley. Preschoolers got to crack their very own "fossil" dinosaur egg and act like paleontologist and discover what type of dinosaur was hidden deep inside the egg. Also, to add to the excitement, the preschoolers got to build their very own volcano with Mrs. Ashley and watch it erupt and spread " red lava" everywhere! Everyone was so amazed every time it erupted!! We sure did learn a lot about Dinosaurs and volcanoes this week!

After some pretty exciting projects, the preschoolers got to do their normal everyday cool things like dressing up and putting on shows!

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.
