Here are some questions you can ask your preschooler about our day:
Who was in the Cloud Dough?
How did your volcano get bumpy?
Why did you scribble in your journal?
What did our book friend Sophie feel like?
What did Ms Kristin bring for Show and Tell?
Wednesday: V is for Volcano!
WELCOME TO APRIL: With all the monthly things having turned purple, we even have purple dinosaurs in the cloud dough to go along with any volcanoes that are made there. We pretend our Alphabet Friend Violet likes to look there because of the purple things!
VOLCANO PROJECT: We turned snow cone cups into volcanos with textured paint (Ms Kristin added coffee grounds!) and red, orange and yellow streamers for lava.
VOLCANO SCRIBBLING: We have our Volcano poem in our journal and everytime we said it, we scribbled more lava exploding out of the top!
You might think it’s just a V from our alphabet tune, but really it’s a volcano about to go BOOM!
VOLCANO STORY: In When Sophie Gets Angry-Really, Really Angry, we read about a girl called Sophie who feels so angry she feels like a volcano ready to explode!
SHOW AND TELL: Ms Kristin brought out her volcano model and made it erupt by adding vinegar and baking soda to the hole. We put our Show and Tell things around it but kept them safe from the liquid!
COPING SKILL OF THE WEEK: Our Coping Skill is Voo: making the vooooo sound on an extended exhale is proven to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), promoting relaxation and reducing stress by stimulating the vagus nerve.
