On Thursday, Pablo, our new Alphabet Friend, was all the way pink and got his eyes and name tag! We finished up P week with the P shaped balance beam path to walk on, enough pillows for everyone, pink playdough and heart cutters, pink water play table, pink scoops and treasures to find in the cloud dough, pretend pizza in the Family Corner and puzzles galore!
Our Coping Skill is Pillow Time. It can be helpful for figuring out what our bodies need in a certain moment by picking up a pillow…notice does it feel good on your belly or to squeeze or to hold? We added more to our All School Pillow Talk Chart…these kids sure know about their own pillows!
It was the last day for our Clean Up Song, Skinnamarink. We have some sweet actions we like to do as well as hit that high note on “mooooon” while we clean. Since it is our preschool love song, we’ll still be singing it all month.
Conversation Starter: Story Time
What food had Baby Bear never eaten before?
In our book, Pizza, Baby Bear had never tried pizza before. Before we read the book, we made tally marks to notate who of us has and has not tried pizza before (not whether or not we liked it).
We can tell by the illustration that he did like it…his eyes got all swirly and he smiled.
Conversation Starter: Snack Time
This week is our Valentine Party Week where our projects, books and snacks are all coordinated. Thank you so much to the families that signed up to bring special party foods all week. Today we had a pizza party with fresh strawberries! Baby Bear would have loved to be there!
Morning class: Thank you to Nessa for bringing cheese pizza and Rain for bringing strawberries and applesauce! Afternoon class: Thank you to Heath for bringing cheese pizza and Annie for bringing strawberries! We all also enjoyed pretzels from preschool!

What happened with your red and white paint?
We made a new color….pink!
The children were given a paper with a blob of red on one side and and blob of pink on the other. They dipped back and forth or slid the paint together to create masterpieces that will need a weekend to dry.
Conversation Starter: Circle Time
What matching pictures did we have to find?
Pizza! We played a matching game as a whole group and managed to find all the matches. The pizza game had three kinds of pizza: cheese, pepperoni and veggie. Those weren’t as silly as the ones in our book, though:
The game will be in our Puzzle Corner the next time we have preschool!
