Our theme during the last two weeks of preschool was outer space! We did many fun art projects and science activities. We also went on our field trip to OMSI where the preschoolers explored and discovered many new things! Take a look at what a fun week we had! OMSI Field Trip!On our trip to OMSI, we enjoyed another trip on the bus and explored the turbine hall, the children's science playground, and the life science room! Check it out! Group Activities!During our group activities this week we enjoyed learning and exploring new things about space and we worked on recognizing, extending and creating patterns! The preschoolers tried a new technique with a flour based paint to design their own rocket. Once painted we microwaved their art and watched as the paint "rose" to create a dough like "puffy paint." So cool! This week we also sent every preschooler home with a letter to decorate and they got to bring in whatever they wanted that started with their letter! This was really fun to see what they found to share with others! Table Activities!This week during our table activities we did many fun activities! At our creation table we made rocket ships and other space creations out of materials such as foam cups and paper! At the language table we did a race to space worksheet. At the art table the preschoolers made constellations with stickers and galaxies with paint, glitter, and stars! They also made a moon scene with themselves as astronauts floating above in space. The preschoolers practiced counting and stacking skills and put on "astronaut" gloves and tried their best to pick up pennies at the science table! Other Centers!During our other centers this week we had a lot of fun cooking delicious meals for our friends and building with blocks! Just For Fun!Rainy Day Activity!
