Zoo Boo

October 31 is a great time to go to the zoo.  The weather is cool and we get to wear our costumes!  Kate Delatore came with us this year.  She visits our class from time to time.  We like it when Kate is part of our class.  Super heros were all over the zoo.  It made us all feel very safe!

Learning to Vote

For the election this year the students were able to go to their Aunt Shae's school where she had created a voting box and booths for her students to vote.  The school was kind enough to allow our students to come and participate as well. It was a very educational field trip.  Thank you Aunt Shae for the for opportunity to meet your class and to vote.

The Presidential Election

Even four and five year old children can learn and understand the concept of the presidential election process to some degree.  In an effort to put that concept more on their level we attended a play at Main Street Theater.  The title of the play was "Duck for President".  It was very comical and entertaining, possibly more so for the adults who attended.  After the play we stopped at our favorite restaurant, Chick-fil-La.  It was a great day!

One Last Swim.

To end the summer we enjoyed one last day of fun-in-the-sun.  We played in the pool and ate pizza.  What can be better than playing in the water hose and running barefoot in the grass?

Recess is our best Subject

Reading, writing and arithmetic is what we do the most, but there is no doubt that recess is the favorite part of the day.  The see-saw always has a waiting line and general run around playing,  Ninja Turtles and other Super Hero games are at the top of the list.  The cooler weather has made the time outside pleasant and enjoyable.  We often take walks around the block which allows them to run and check out bugs and flowers along the sidewalk.  Where does all the energy come from?  If only they could share it.

Sweet Potato Pie !

Last year we placed a yam in a jar of water and it grew long vines and a lot of roots. Before the summer break we planted the potato in our garden in the backyard.  To our surprise the potato grew and grew and grew.  We had read a book about a grandma who did the same and grew a potato as large as a house!  So re-inacting the book our class proceeded to harvest our sweet potato in the same manner as our book characters.  The kids had fun reading the book and digging the fruits of our labor. 

New Year 2012 - 2013

We are off to a great start!  With five eager students Perry Pre K will no doubt have a great year.  Everyone was ready to start learning and being with their classmates.  What a fortunate teacher and grandmother I am to have the privilege of being a part of these precious lives.
