This will be your last blog post! Can you believe this is the last week of school? Tomorrow we will have our preschool celebration on Zoom at 3:00. If you are going to kindergarten, make sure you wear your graduation cap! Thursday is supposed to be our beach day! We were supposed to celebrate the last day of school by playing in the sprinkler, playing games with water balloons, and having a hula party! What can you do at your home to celebrate the last day of school instead? Send us a video on Marco Polo of how you're celebrating the last day of school!
Since this is our last day of school on the blog:
I have loved having all of you in my preschool class this year at The Nest and I have missed you all so much these past several weeks.
Let's spend today thinking about all the great things we did at school!
First, to wrap up our bird project let's check out Magdalina's nest!
Wow! Look how much they have grown! Can you tell what kind of birds they are from the picture of the mama bird? They are baby robins! Have you seen a robin in your yard?
Here is a sweet video:
What have you learned about birds, eggs, or nests from our project? What was your favorite part of this project? My favorite part was our engineering week when we did the egg drop challenges! My other favorite part was learning to notice birds outside. Now when I go outside I know the names of many birds that I see and I can identify many of their sounds! I didn't know very much about birds before this project! I also am always looking for nests and I really want to find a nest that has one egg or baby bird different from the others. Remember when we learned that some mama birds will lay their egg in another bird's nest? I thought that was so interesting!
Now let's think about all the great things we did at preschool this year. Do you remember? What was your favorite? Here are some of my favorite things that I remember. Draw/write about your favorite part of preschool:
