Worms Worms

We had earth worms visit for W week! I love to see the kids faces! We ate gummy worms and watermelon after.

Western round up!

Our big Western round up was today!  The room was ready to go and the buckeroos were excited!
We had a great time today.  One of my moms made these amazing stick ponies for me!  I hung these wanted by God poster.  I downloaded a free Western font and just printed pictures from ones I already had in black and white!  A free craft (I don't do that very often)...

W Week!

W week is upon us and I love this week!  On Wednesday we do our big Western round-up!  Each teacher takes a different element of a "Dude Ranch".  We have 4 PreK teachers.  The first Room is mine and we ride our stick ponies into the barn....We learn how to take care of our ponies, ride them and feed them.  We finish our time with some square dancing!  I love the song "ride that Pony" by Dr. Jean.  The next room we have a camp fire, sing campfire songs, roast marshmallows, and make s'mores! The third room we enter the dairy farm.  We learn how to milk a cow, and rope a steer!  The final area we go "out on the range" for some field games.  Sack races, pony races, and pin the badge on the cowboy!  Here are some pictures of last year....will add some from this year after the event.  You can pick up our great western unit HERE!
