The countdown begins! With less than a month until the start of preschool you can help your child prepare with these easy tips:

Visit the Pediatrician. Kids entering Lindsay’s Little Owls will need to be up-to-date on immunizations. So schedule a visit now.

Practice Makes Perfect.  Play “school” with your child. This is a fun way to practice skills such as raising their hand to share or sitting for circle time.

Gear Up. Get kids excited for school by letting them help pick out school supplies such as a backpack they love and a fun pencil box.

Savor the last days of summer vacation. Have fun and play a ton!

Graduation

Graduation was so bitter sweet.  I am so proud of each child, but will miss them terribly.  Here we are showing off the all the skills we learned in our closing play. Thank you for letting me be a part of your learning experience.  It has been a pleasure.   

Volcanoes

It's amazing how far a little baking soda and vinegar go.  The kids had a BLAST building volcanoes out of clay and putting the proper mixture in to watch them explode.  We love science!!!

Laundry Day

We Love Science!!!

What an awesome science experiment.  We had a blast making gak.  The kids called it "monster boogers". 

Field Trip to Dentist Office

We are lucky because two of the kids in our class have a dentist for a daddy.  So after a few days of playing dentist for dramatic play we all went to Emerald Valley Dental Office for a fun filled field trip.  All of the kids really enjoyed getting a chance to play with all of the cool dental tools and each took turns getting a check up in the chair.  The highlight was picking a prize out of the treasure chest at the end.  A big thank you to Dr. Anderson and Dr. Bahen and their staff at Emerald Valley Dental for making our experience so special. 

Before our trip we brushed up on brushing our teeth.  For science we soaked hard boiled eggs in cola for 24 hours and saw how brown they turned the egg (which we pretended was a dinosaur tooth). Then we all took turns brushing the "dino teeth" until they were clean again. We talked about the effects of soda and candy on our teeth.  We also made model teeth out of cut up soda and propel bottles and used twin to link them all together to look just like teeth.  We then used shaving cream as tooth paste and practiced brushing.  So fun....and so messy!

Riley was one of our best brushers!

                     

 Doesn't Robert look like a child on a dental add for perfect smiles! So cute!

Pretty teeth Camryn!We found out that she is special because she has an extra tooth!

Having fun with tools!

Elizabeth was so funny.  She was nervous when we first got here and kept saying "I don't want to brush my teeth!" She warmed up after awhile and loved playing with this light tool.

Squirting water.

                          

 Kai was the only one brave enough to get his picture (Xray) taken.

All the class waiting for the Xrays to come up.  

Look at Kai's teeth!

Even Blakely got to come. She loved the assistant chair.

 Dr. Daddy with his little Sweet pea!

Yay...Treasure! Who doesn't love picking prizes?

Teddy Bear Picnic

As a class we studied bears and each child brought a teddy bear friend from home to accompany them at school. They each had the responsibility of teaching their teddy bear the subjects we were learning.  It was so fun to watch them as little teachers and they were so cute and really worked hard. For science we learned all about hibernation.  We made a big bear cave and took turns putting our bears inside for their "winter nap".  For dramatic play we had tons of fun hosting a teddy bear picnic.  We read stories to our bears and had our bears help us pretend to read our picnic list.  For our literacy application the kids worked to create their own stories. We made our own books about what we would take on a picnic and had a real carpet picnic during snack time that the kids loved.
