Being a Responsible Pet Owner Unit

Look at the bunny we found near our playground! 

 The preschoolers share photos of their pets from home

Some of us have cats. Some of us have dogs. Some of us have both!

 We made the "Home Living Center" into an Animal Hospital

     We checked people in to see the Veterinarian                                                                     

The Vet looks over the animals to make sure they are healthy

 The kids had a blast answering phones

 We checked the animal's temperature and heartbeat

We are great parents to our pets

 We each adopted our pets and got a certificate

The kids had so much fun pretending to be a vet and work in a animal hospital. They all asked Ms. Ashley if we could keep the office set up for another week. How could I say no to these sweet faces????

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Artwork

He really does see his shadow in our artwork!

We watched the groundhog online... 

An early spring is on the way, according to groundhog "Punxsutawney Phil." When the Pennsylvania groundhog emerged from his dwelling at Gobbler's Knob on Feb 2, 2013, he did not see his shadow.

Mittens Unit

Coloring our mittens

 Mittens for Show-and-Tell

We read "The Three Little Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens" and acted it out. The kids had so much fun!

Happy Birthday Kansas!!!!

The preschoolers cut construction paper in the shape of Kansas

 They drew a sunflower and a cottonwood tree on it

 The kids wrote the word Kansas all by themselves!

 They glued sunflower seeds to the middle of their sunflowers and cotton pieces to their tree

Happy 152nd Birthday Kansas!!!

African American Heroes Unit

We learned about Martin Luther King Jr.

 Show-and-Tell: Ryder shares of photo of his family

 Madelynn brought Time Magazine for Kids to share with our group

 We discussed equality and how we want everyone to be treated fairly and with respect.

The preschoolers wrote about their dreams.

 Ms. Ashley points to the large crowd that came to see Martin Luther King Jr. speak

We learned so many new things and understand how important it is to treat people fairly. 

We celebrate you Mr. King!!!!

You made many things possible for the future's children!

Ms. Ashley Donates Her Hair to Locks of Love

This is the second time Ms. Ashley has donated her hair to locks of love. She has so much hair she is able to donate two pony tails. The last time she donated her hair was two years ago. Boy does her hair grow fast!

Look how long Ms. Ashley's hair is!

 WOW, what a difference!
