Preschool has been working hard on identifying numbers this year, we've moved on to teen numbers, 11-20. We have been playing the game "Boom, Clap, Snatch" to help master identifying those numbers independently. A great game for focus, listening skills, kindness, winning/losing, and competitiveness!

Happy Easter from the 1st Graders! Today in class, we talked about solids, liquids, and gas. We then made a liquid into a solid. And of course had to dye them afterwards 😉 We colored coffee filters, wrapped them around our eggs, and “painted” them with a vinegar and water mixture. We left them to dry while we were in PE, and unwrapped them after recess!
