~RAINBOW CUPCAKES~

This morning, the children helped turn our white cake batter into a different color.  Once we had 6 different colors of cake batter, the teacher made colorful cupcakes that we enjoyed eating for snack.

 Our colorful cake batter turned into rainbow cupcakes!

 ~COLOR EXPERIMENT~

This morning, we took our colored ice cubes from the freezer and placed them into cups so they could melt.

At the end of the morning, we investigated the water that was created by the melted ice cubes and discovered it made the following colors....

 ~COLOR BOOKS~

We got together with our 3rd grade buddies to work together on a color book.  The Pre-K children did the illustrations, while their 3rd grade buddies wrote the words.  These books are now on display on the bulletin board outside of our classroom.

~COLOR STORY~

Since we all wore different colored shoes today, we read the story about Pete the Cat and his shoes.

~EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~

Today was an Art day with Mr. Cicetti.

~KIDS 4 KIDS~

Thank you to all of the volunteers who came in Wednesday morning to assist our Pre-K children in wrapping gifts for the family we "adopted" for the holidays.  What a great community effort for a worthy cause!

~COLOR WEEK~

One of our color week activities was sorting and graphing Skittles candies.  Be sure to ask your child to show you his/her graph.  Then, ask your child the following questions:

~Which color had the most?

~Which color had the least?

~Did you have any colors that were equal? 

~NUMBER WRITING~

Today we learned and practiced writing the numbers 6 and 7.

We learned about how rainbows form, the best time to look for a rainbow, and the order of the colors of a rainbow.

~FREE CHOICE LEARNING~

The veterinarians have been quite busy taking care of animals.

We decorated our letter J and j with jack-o-lanterns.

~EXTENDED DAY~

Today was a Discovery Day and we did a color experiment with milk, food coloring and dish soap.  Each child had his/her own tray with enough milk to cover the bottom of the tray.  Children added food coloring drops to the milk.  Then, they dipped a Q-tip into dish soap and touched the Q-tip to the food coloring.  Ask your child what happened when the dish soap touched the food coloring!  There were lots of "oohs" and "aahs" with this experiment!
