Bird Nests

This is the project I had looked forward to all weekend.

I had my materials gathered and went to work on a Monday 

morning excited knowing my kids we're going to love this.

Of course after I arrived at work I became sick and went home for two 

days with a stomach bug. :( Very unhappy, I begged for pictures. 

I really wish I had been there.

Easter Eggs

 

We made Easter eggs with water colors and shaving cream.

This was a fun Pinterest project. we dropped the liquid water colors on the shaving cream, the students swirled the colors around with a cotton swab, and then they pressed their egg in the shaving cream.

We squeegeed away the shaving cream and had bright colored eggs. 

Animal Unit Pets

We ended our animal unit with pets. Students brought pictures of their pets and stuffed animals for show and tell.

Our project was water coloring cat masks.

A Rainbow of Activies

We made clouds with rainbows using paper plates

and ribbons. This was a pinterest project from 

http://momscraftyspace.blogspot.com/2011/03/streamer-rainbows.html 

Here students painted with a variety of colors.

Various table activities were also available.
Students practiced writing, used pompom
magnets and created using playdough,
feathers and pipe cleaners.

 

During circle time we collected toys around the room and sorted them by color.

Animal Tracks

Yesterday the three's made animal tracks.

They walked the animals through the paint then onto their papers.

Here are some of the table activities.

K is for Kite

We had so much fun painting our kites today. 

I am so glad spring is here.

Shamrocks

The idea for these shamrocks came from Pinterest. My preschool board is so large I can't find the original pin. It's time to break that board down but the thought of doing it is overwhelming to me.

First we painted the shamrocks with a water/glue mixture.
Then added torn streamer paper to decorate the shamrocks. 

I lost the picture of them adding the paper to the project.

This is the finished shamrock after I cut them out.

We used the Lucky Charms graph from @ Teaching Mommies at snack time today. This was so much fun. Unfortunately I didn't take the picture until after they started eating. And of course being a blogging newbie I can not figure out how to rotate the picture. SORRY!
