april showers bring May flowers

We have continued our Spring has Sprung Theme and we are learning so many things about seeds and flowers and what happens in the spring time.

 I for one love talking about spring because warm weather is right around the corner. There is 

so much beauty in Spring. The trees bloom, tulips start to rise, the grass turns green and the smell of freshly cut grass is the best! So onto our days.  We made aApril Showers bring May flowers activity. The tulle represents rain and when lifted up it shows beautiful showers.

This is the book of the month from Funshine  

It talks about all the things happen in the sprin time. What kind of things we see during the spring.

I love to cook with the kids because I love seeing the excitement they get everytime they get to help stir, help pour, measure.

The cooking activity for Funshine express was maple syrup muffins. Prior to making these, we watched a video on YouTube on how maple syrup is made and where Sap that is used to make maple syrup comes from. That got the process rolling.

I would say Kaelis enjoyed them!

Spring is also about planting and watching seeds grow. First, we have to have a pot to plant them in. We painted flowers on cups and will use them to plant grass seeds in.

One of things I love about teaching preschool is all the things that you can observe through play. If the kids wanted to play all day, I would forgo my lesson and let them go. They learn so many life skills through play . Lena decided to have a cupcake party and counted how many cupcakes and then how many friends there were to make sure she had enough . See, math right there.

Hope you have a great rest of the week and I will be back on Friday with lots more fun.
