Weekly Highlights
Here are pictures from some of last week's school highlights.
Playing with pattern blocks during preschool. These things are useful for all sorts of prek concepts- colors, counting, shapes, differences, etc Isaac did a great job on his car! An almost daily occurance in preschool has been the Kumon books of cutting and one of tracing.
More Preschool! This is fingerpainting the letter B. Here's our rhyme from Little Hands to Heaven for the letter B.
2 big bears got on the boat (hold up 2 fingers).
The rain came down (wiggle your fingers down)
and the boat did float (hands move back and forth)
. B B B (b sound while hugging yourself)
The animals played and played (fingers as ears on top of your head).
And Noah heard the big bears say (cup hand over ear)
Grrr! (hands around mouth)
This is a bridge that Taylor built using a challenge posted at this website. It's a truly awesome website for kids- one of the best I've ever seen. We can't wait to meet more challenges. Taylor got her bridge to hold 60 pennies. Then daddy and I tried our hand at it. I got 270 pennies and thought I was big business until John came along and used all 500 of our pennies and his bridge still hadn't collapsed!
Here's a video we made after trying out a cool trick that we saw on You Tube.
