THRILLING THURSDAY 9-20-12

VISIT TO MR. MACKENZIE~
On Thursday, we traveled to the Headmaster's (Mr. Mackenzie's) office.  We introduced ourselves to Mr. Mackenzie and learned more about his job as the Headmaster.   Mr. Mackenzie read to us a very funny story called, The Hungry Thing.  He then shared with us a model of a viking ship that belongs to the school. 


 ESTIMATION ACTIVITY~
On Thursday, children were asked to "examine" 2 jars of marshmallows and "estimate" which jar had the most marshmallows.  The jars were the same sizes.  One jar had mini-marshmallows that filled 1/4 of the jar, while the other jar had large marshmallows that filled the jar to the top.  After children made their guesses, we counted the marshmallows in each jar.  Be sure to ask your child which jar had the most marshmallows!






 ZERO THE HERO DAY!~
We celebrated our 20th day of school by making button caterpillars.  Thank you to London and his family for providing us with this fun activity!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
We celebrated our first birthday in Pre-K.  Emma's mom came in to read a story and we then enjoyed eating "push-up pops" as Emma's special birthday treat.  Happy Birthday, Emma!
