Little Sprouts Pre-School: May 2019

You Dug Up What?

Learning about Dinosaurs and being a Paleontologist was one of my favorite days. These kids learned the answers to question like "Why don't we see dinosaurs anymore?" and "How big are dinosaurs?" But I think their favorite part was Digging for Dinosaurs! They had a fun time learning how to find bones in the ground and what a fossil is! They even had a chance to make their own fossils. Pretty sure a dinosaur could convince any kid to be a scientist!

Little People Can Learn Big Things

Why teach "Spring Cleaning"? Why not? At Little Sprouts Preschool I believe life is all about exposure and skills. Cleaning is a skill and learning about how to organize things and why it's important to keep things nice is a skill these little people will need to know their entire lives. I'm not going to stop will "how to tie your shoes" or "how to buckle your seat belt". Being a teacher is about more than just teaching the basics or even scholastics, it is about helping people, little people in my case, become better citizens. And teaching about taking care of the things that are yours is one way to help these little people to see that our efforts make a difference each day. So, give your kids a rag and teach them to care.

Weather Science

One way to get kids interested in science is to talk about things they can see, like the weather. We had a such a great time learning about how rainbows are made and why you need rain and sunshine to make one. We also had a great time exploring things like tornados and learning about the weather cycle. We even made a mini water cycle for them to take home. I know ours had rained several times already, has yours?

Doctor

One thing every kid likes to play is doctor. They like to take care of something because they see it modeled in their own lives constantly. We had a fun day bringing our stuffed animals and helping them get better. We learned many solutions to how we help things to heal and why it is important to be careful with our bodies.

Engineer

During "What I Could Be" month we explored a lot of job options for these kids. One really popular day was "engineer day". This kids had a great time solving problems and learning how an engineer thinks of solutions. These kids were pretty creative in building their own structures and did pretty well at balancing their compositions.

What is that Huge Truck?!

We were so blessed to have Firemen come to our preschool and teach us a little about what they do. We were just sad that so many of our kids were sick on this awesome day and missed out.
They did a great job of answering questions and teaching the kids how to safely get out of a fire by ducking under the smoke. Thank you for your service to our small group!
