Events at Preschool!

We had a lot of fun at preschool this week!  The children enjoyed the girls Logan Elm basketball team coming and playing basketball with us on Monday and they especially enjoyed the red balls they handed out.  It was a flurry of activity in the gym!  Our trip to McDonald's yesterday was rain free so we were able to walk there and back and not get wet!  We had a lot of fun in the tunnels, slides, and the little cars. There's just something fun about eating and playing at McDonald's with friends!

In the classroom we're exploring zoo animals and learning about what animals we might see at the zoo.  We're also learning about animal habitats and where animals live that aren't in the zoo.  We moved in all of our zoo stuffed animals last week and this week we'll move in the veterinarians office.  We'll have appointment books, calendars, phones, medical equipment, and of course, a cash register, so you can pay for the treatment for your animal! The children like to help arrange their play area so I will have all the ingredients to make a veterinarian's office and they can help me set it up and decide where to put the office and the waiting room for instance.  This activity involves a lot of communication and discussion and it's wonderful to see how they share ideas with each other and how they give and take as they set up their new play area.
