January 2017


SPACE UNIT

 They started off by hand painting a big ball of burning gas (The Sun)
 They learned that the sun keeps the earth warm.
 They practiced being the earth and orbiting the sun. While they sang "The Earth goes around the sun, the earth goes around the sun. Once a year every year the Earth goes around the sun." (Tune of Farmer in the Dell)


 Next they learned about all of the other planets in our solar system. They practiced their cutting skills as they colored and cut out the planets.


 They also learned a planets song that goes like this "Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Then comes Jupiter, oh my stars! Saturn, Uranus, Neptune too, that's all the planets zippidy doo!" (Tune of Zippidy Doo Da)

 We learned the letters R and S.



 Here are a few things they do when they are not doing preschool.
 Dress UP!










Knox learned to hold his own bottle :)








They play picnic


and make huts.
 They made magic night pictures that turned out really cute.



 They practiced counting with stars.




Penguins! They practiced walking with their penguin eggs on their feet just like the daddy penguins.



Outside time in January...

Sledding


Vincent always takes care of our snow removal.




There was plenty of snow to eat.





It was a lot of work getting them all bundled up and ready, but worth it!

Preston even got to go outside a few times.




TAG

 A very slippery slide.
