Dinosaur tracks, the final vote, stones in a stomach and 2 birthdays : WEDNESDAY D WEEK

Our Wednesday “Green Day” Class was the first class back after a week long break. The classroom had a complete transformation during the week as it was used for a meal in honor of the 50th anniversary of New Creation Fellowship Church. Today we honored two friends who both turned four! Our snack was special and lit by two rainbow candles.

Here are five questions about today…if your child was at preschool, ask them for their answers then read on to find my perspective.

1. How did you get the ink on your journal pages?

2. What did Ms Kristin do with the puzzles today?

3. What side did the final vote go on?

4. Where do pumpkins grow?

5. How big is the Wannanosaurus dinosaur?

1. How did you get the ink on your journal pages?

Dinosaur feet pressed in ink pads!


2. What did Ms Kristin do with the puzzles today?

Mixed them up on the big table!

I did mix them up, but these kids solved the problem in no time! Several times over, in fact.


3. What side did the final vote go on?

No cat at home (reportedly due to a mother’s allergy but it’s okay).

The children seem to enjoy finding themselves in the midst of so many unknown children. “Wait, we all go to school here?”


4. Where do pumpkins grow?

In fields on a vine on the ground in a pumpkin patch!

We have pretend pumpkins to play with this week…soon we’ll have a real one!


5. How big is the Wannanosaurus dinosaur?

Only 2 feet!

We looked through our Dinosaur Alphabet book again, stopping first at the D page about the diplodocus (which swallows their food and big stones to mush it up…!!!). Then we found the sweet Wannasaurus who would be smaller than a preschooler and imagined them on our playground. We ended the day roaring like dinosaurs to wish each other well.

Ms Kristin and friends drew some beautiful dinosaurs and a habitat for them on the sidewalks.


BONUS: Our Circle Time picture

Here is a picture of “Things in the Dark.” Ask your preschooler to show you the mouse, mouse poop, bat house, bat poop. Find out why the cat’s ears are twitching and why the family wished they hadn’t put the bat house where they did.

We’ll add to it all week and then make it dark!
