Results From Apple Tasting :)

Our Food's Made with Apple's Taste Testing was a huge success. We had 7 children at the taste testing. 3 were absent. The children enjoyed tasting 6 different foods/drinks and our top winner was Apple Juice. All children loved the apple juice. The numbers below show the number of kids out of 7 that liked each item.

Results were:

Apple Juice - 7
Apple Cinnamon Bread - 6
Caramel Apple - 5
Apple Turnover - 4
Apple Chips - 4
Apple Pie - 2

Today is apple taste testing. Red, green or yellow apples. Which one taste the best....

New Block and Writing Center Outside




The childen are making full use of our new centers outside. I have added a writing center and block center. Items for the block center are placed in the storage container next to the rug and shed each night and the writing center items are placed in the shed. Clean up is quick and so worth it. The kids are really enjoying it.
I can't wait to finish our new reading center outside... I will post pictures when I am done. :)

Spider's

These spiders I can handle. :)
We made spiders using our handprints and turned it into a bulletin board inside the dc entrance.... The letters I cut out using the Cricut Expression... Best money I ever spend.....

Spiders.... ISH!

Today we're talking about spiders.... Not my favorite subject..... I decided to look on line and find a picture of the biggest spider, and found some information along with a video.... Enjoy...I personally couldn't watch the video... Too creepy. But the kids loved it.

Benefits of Children's Names all Around the Playroom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3whxzMqgpY

Above is a video I shot today of one of my preschoolers. He turned 2 May 2. He recognizes the names of his friends at school because the names are placed all over the playrooms. (Table they eat and do crafts at, hanging from the ceiling, hanging in 2 different pocket charts, sign in board, bins for shoes and clothes, and papers and crafts they work on during the week... :)
I just wanted to share.... Awesome job.
