3/17 Classroom Update

Happy St. Patrick's Day! This week, we participated in lots of fun and engaging St. Patrick's Day learning centers. We learned a little about Ireland, symbols of St. Patrick's Day, and St. Patrick's Day legends and celebrations. During center time, preschoolers painted leprechauns using forks, built leprechaun traps, painted shamrocks, played leprechaun math games, practiced rhyming words, and sifted through rainbow rice to find gold and match uppercase gold letters to lowercase letters. Here are some picture highlights from this week:

Next week, we will be learning about the letter O and the ocean. We will be learning about animals that live in the ocean and exploring ocean life through sensory, hands-on play!
