Johnny Appleseed's Birthday

We made Johnny Appleseed out of apples and candy YUM!



We had a great apple day! The students were so funny-they couldn't remember his name so they kept calling him Johnny Applesauce or Johnny Apple Plant Man!

Backyard Olympics



Backyard Olympics is always so fun. Most preschoolers don't really know what the Olympics are so we read books, and watch a short clip to get excited. We had six events:
Gold Medal Time after Ceremony!

Frisbee Discus


Standing Long Jump





Balance Beam



Trampoline Gymnastics




Water Balloon Shot Put





50 Yard Dash
My camera was on the wrong setting the whole day so most of these pics are blurry--Sorry!




Bye Bye Butterfly!


One of my students brought a butterfly to preschool so that we could let it free. He had named it Bumblebee the Butterfly. When the morning warmed up we took him outside and let him fly high in the sky...oh the wonder of it all.

Lots of Firsts!






Practising scissors skills....making funny faces...tactile letter Kks, and bean names!
Our first week in preschool was GREAT! I have awesome students in this class. We have settled into the daily routine and the kids already know many of their classmates by name. We learned the letter Kk and looked through the circle bags. We are having too much fun!
