Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Preschool Families! Announcements:
In both classes this week, we read Waiting Is Not Easy by Mo Willems. It is an Elephant and Piggie book. We practiced the sign language sign for wait (HERE is a video to it) and discussed how it is really hard to wait! Elephant and Piggie books always teach a lesson while keeping it light and fun. On Tuesday, we worked hard on building a really tall tower. It is tricky to make it go so high without it falling over. They used chairs to climb on and enlisted in my help to add the blocks. at the top. This class also loves board games. On Tuesday we played Count Your Chickens and Stone Soup. Both are games by a company called Peaceable Kingdom. All of their games are cooperative so you all win or lose together. These games are great for turn taking and understanding rules. On Thursday, we did a really fun science experiment called Sink the Egg. They had different items (rocks, pom poms, gems, paperclips) and had to add them to their eggs to see if they would sink or float. They had a chart on a clipboard to mark Yes or No if the egg sank for each item. They made predictions on what they thought would happen and were happy when their predictions came true! We did this in small groups of three outside. I’m glad we had beautiful weather for this activity! Ask Your Child: Mon/Tues: Did you play any board games this week? Which one was your favorite? Wed/Thurs: Tell me about when you had to sink the egg. What materials did you use? What happened when you used (rocks, pom poms, gems, paperclips)? Have a great sunny weekend! Deanna
