Preschool: Week 3

We took last week off to go to Disneyland, but hopefully this week we'll be able to get back into our routine!  Before our trip, we learned about the letter "C"!  Here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago.

Playing Colorama with Daddy!

Things that begin with "C": Talking with the cousins on the computer, corn, cup, comb, car, cake, candle, camera, card, and clippy (pardon my naked child).

We made clouds with cotton balls!

A special snack of crackers with cream cheese.

We went on a walk to look for things that start with "C' and also for things that are squares, since we were learning about squares.  We found a curb and some crunchy leaves!

Of course, we had to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

And then we made our own caterpillar paper chain!  (Sorry for the lack of pants.  One of these days my daughter will be fully clothed.)  :)

Hanging out with her cousin in the car!

At the county fair!

Made paper cupcakes!

Since it was "C" week and we were talking about caterpillars, we also talked about how they make cocoons and turn into butterflies, so we made our own butterflies!  Phase 1: color a coffee filter with washable markers.

Phase 2: Spray with a spray bottle 2-3 times.


Phase 3: Wrap pipe cleaner around the center and, voila!  You've got butterflies!
We also learned about Adam and Eve and had some projects correlating to that, but I don't have pictures.  Sorry!
