making a difference

in the main hallway we have put up all of our pre-k children's projects that they have worked so hard on, to show everyone how much passion they have about getting clean water to the world. they know all about how to build wells & they want to raise enough money for mr.lopez to go with living water international to build one in guatemala. so far we have collected about $374.00, the children are so proud of themselves & all the awareness they're raising. they know they can can do this, they're comittited to giving clean water to a village in gutemala!!! if you would like to donate we have a bucket on the front desk by the check-in computer or we also have a sponser sheet that the children have made if you'd like to pick one up to take to work or ask your neighbors... we appreciate eveyone's continued support to these awesome children who are going to save this world :)

From skeletons to bats to birds!

You have probably seen our skeleton project by now, but look at where we have gone since then!

We made the bat skeletons and started talking about animals that fly. We drew bird skeletons and now we are learning about which birds fly and which birds do not.

Annika and Ashley wanted to make peacocks! We found beautiful pictures of them in a book. At first we thought peacocks couldn't fly, but it turns out that they can! We made these beautiful art pieces, and we practiced spelling and writing the word 'PEACOCK'

As we sat and thought about what birds do not fly, Dimi remembered that penguins do not fly! We found them in our bird book......
Annika and Kiersten made paintings of their favorite penguins...........

Kaelynn found a beautiful red bird with black spots. The children all said that that bird flew, so Kaelynn wanted to make a painting of it.........

We found more birds like it in our bird book, and it turns out that they are called PARROTS!

Ashley made a painting of her favorite parrot, and then practiced spelling and writing 'BIRD'....

She also made a parrot out of play dough...........................

Dimi's favorite bird was the bald eagle! He loves this picture and he told the class how the bald eagle "flies down to catch it's food, but he doesn't swim, because he will drown if he gets in the water!"

He made this painting............................

But best of all, Tayden and Carter brought in a bird's nest, and we made a tree for it and turned it into a bald eagle nest.

Look at the bald eagle sitting in the nest with her eggs!

Stay tuned to find out where we go next with this project!
