Spring Has Sprung in the T/TH PM Ranch Room!!

We have had such a wonderful time together since we returned from spring break! I know everyone had a great time with friends and family during our vacation time off but I was beyond excited to see all of the students when we returned!
 
Here is a look into our classroom for our Easter Celebration!
 
We started our day by making shaving cream eggs and potato egg prints! The kids really enjoyed both but most came home with their hands covering in food coloring:)
 
Next, we enjoyed circle time together when we learned all about our letters using the FUNdations program! At the end of circle time, we met some new fluffy friends. Baby Chicks!!! Everyone loved the little babies!
 
The students love snack time and love to play games that they have made up! Their favorite is to call each other by different names :)
 
We had some great centers for our Celebration as well! The students had fun with a Peep investigation and some eggs races! They were so well behaved in the hallway waiting for our classroom Egg Hunt!
 
The Egg Hunt was a success and the students loved opening their eggs together and talking about what they got! Thank you for your help and sending these in parents:)

Spring time in the Ranch Room!

We have been busy this spring in the Ranch Room! We have learned so much and have done so many fun things!

To kick off our Spring we celebrated our wonderful Dads! We invited our dads into our class for crafts and donuts! The students worked really hard making their dad a special coozie! We filled the coozie's with Root Beer and wrote special letters for our dads. We even had some grandpas and moms come for that speical day too! All the preschoolers were super proud to share their classroom with their awesome daddies!

Next up for the Ranch Room was a trip to the Farm!
We have been learning a lot about the farm and how it works. We learned the type of animals that live on the farm and what each animal helps to do on a farm. We talked about the types of foods like vegetables that we often get from farms and how healthy they are for our bodies! We even did a veggie taste test and all the kiddos tried all the veggies! I was super impressed!
 
During the field trip to Schnepf Farms we rode a train around the farm, picked our very own red leaf lettuce from the vegetable garden, toured the farm on a tracker, visited a petting zoo and had a picnic lunch! It was a beautiful spring day and everyone had a great time!

Spring has been such a special time for our PreK class! We have all grown so much and I have loved being in the Ranch Room with all these wonderful kids! Before we left for Spring Break the students earned a popsicle party for filling their Warm and Fuzzie Jar!
 
Beautiful weather and popsicles...what's better than that!!
