February 20th-22nd, Presidents Week

Presidents Week

 

-We read a story about Abraham Lincoln and one about George Washington.

This is the Abraham Lincoln we made.  We learned that he liked to keep important papers in his hat.  We put a paper in his hat that had some facts about Abraham Lincoln.

 

We also had time for a science experiment on Sink or Float.  All the kids chose some items from the preschool.  We chose a marble, a wooden block, a popsicle stick, a polly pocket, a foam domino, a car, two pennies, a counting bear and a piece from our marble game.

Then we tested it out.  One by one the children chose an item and dropped it in the tub.  We asked questions like, Will it Sink? or Will it Float?  Then we talked about why things float and why things sink.

On Friday, we learned about our very first President George Washington.  We made a 3 point hat just like George Washington use to wear.  On our hats are some pictures of some of our National Symbols, like-the Eagle, the Liberty Bell, the White House, the American Flag and the Statue of Liberty.

And this is our gorgeous George Washington.  He also has some facts we learned about him on the back.

-We had some great snacks.

-We watched a few video clips on youtube about the Presidents.

-We played some games using pennies and quarters.

It was a very fun week learning about some of the past great Presidents and our National Symbols. 

 

Next week my friends is all about the Letter O, its sound and how to write it.  The number 5. And Weather-all kinds-sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, thunder, hail, lightning, fog and rainbows.  So we will see you all then.  Have a safe and fun weekend,
