Pumpkin Exploration

Exploring the inside of a pumpkin at school.  When we opened it up, we found seeds and "wet, slimy stuff" (pulp).  Some of the students liked how the inside felt and some did not - but everyone gave it a try!  The seeds were fun to pull out and count.  

Shoe Stew

We made Halloween Shoe Stew!  We are practicing matching and sorting.  Everyone put their shoes into a big pot and we mixed them up.  After our stew was mixed, we dumped it out and had to find our shoe matches.  Once the matches were found, we practiced putting them on independently and on the correct feet!  Afterwards, some cute witches and wizards tested out the cauldron!

Pumpkin Farm

Our visit to the pumpkin farm was so much fun - even though the weather wasn't cooperating for us.  It was cold and very windy, but we were able to ride on a BIG school bus, which may have been the best part of our trip!

We went on a bumpy hayride around the pumpkin patch, had a chance to ride on a pony, milk a cow and hold kittens that were only a couple of weeks old.  All of the children and parents had the opportunity to pick out their very own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch to take home!

Color Mixing Fun

After reading the book, Mouse Paint, we did our own color mixing just like the mice did! Instead of using paint brushes, we used our fingers to make some beautiful colors.  We started out with red, blue and yellow paint...which we turned into orange, purple, green and brown!

Welcome

Welcome to the Bloom 'N Grow Preschool Blog!

This page is designed to share our classroom activities, projects and learning processes through pictures.

Our first week went well - we were very busy and had a lot of fun.  We read the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See, talked about the color BLUE, danced with ribbon streamers, went on a Bear Hunt, used daubers in our journals and decorated letters using stickers and markers!

We are also learning and working on our classroom rules and expectations.

Dream Big

It is really hard to believe that our Preschool year has come to an end!  What a fantastic year...We laughed, played and learned so many new things during our morning adventures.  We will have a million great memories from our great group this year.

Your children should be very proud of all of their accomplishments this year.  It was amazing to see how much everyone has grown during our time together!

It was a pleasure to have had all of the little learners at Bloom ‘N Grow and hope every family has an enjoyable Summer!!

Library Visit

Students enjoyed walking over to visit the library at Canterbury Elementary School.  We had a chance to listen to a few stories about Spring and learned a new song with Mrs. Thomas, the librarian.
