 MORNING MESSAGE~

Take a look at the question on today's Morning Message.  There is more than 1 answer.  Ask your child to tell you how he/she answered the question and why.

 STORYTIME~

Our color story today was by Don Freeman and was about a rainbow.  (Be sure to ask your child what other books (about a bear) that this author also wrote.)  After the story, the children were told they would have a rainbow of their own today.

SPECIAL, COLORFUL SNACK~

Small group of children were given a bowl of cake batter with some food coloring (not yet mixed in).  Each child took turns stirring the batter to discover what color the batter would become.

 While the children were in Spanish, Mrs. "B" and Mrs. Spolter used the colorful cake batter to make cupcakes.

 When you bite into the cupcake, there is a rainbow.  The rainbow each child received today was in his/her cupcake at snack!

 We decorated our letter "V" with vikings.

 DIWALI~

 Tej and his Mom helped us learn more about the Diwali holiday which started last Saturday.  The children learned what things people do when celebrating Diwali and why they celebrate Diwali.  Thank you for sharing! 

 

 STAR OF THE WEEK~

Our new "Star of the Week" is Gisele!  Today we learned that Gisele's favorite things include:  green (favorite color); DisneyWorld (favorite place to visit); and a horse (favorite animal).  Thank you for sharing your photos with us.  We enjoyed getting to know you better, Gisele!

EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~

Today was a Discovery day!  Children used eyedroppers to transfer colored vinegar into a tray with baking soda.  This caused a visible reaction and was also another way to try to mix together primary colors to make secondary colors.
