I still get a thrill on finding cicada shells. ☺️ One of the boys found one on the playground this morning. #PreKLife

This morning, my preschoolers were talking about favorite music to listen to at home. C. said “Purple Rain”. After a beat, he added, “and James Brown”. #PreKLife

Well, friends, I may have to turn in my music fan card. One of my preschoolers started quizzing me on Imagine Dragons songs. 🫤 I could see the disappointment in his eyes when I admitted to knowing 1. He offered to sing some of the songs to me to spark my memory. Didn’t help. #PreKLife #Music

The last of my jonquils are being used as inspiration this morning. #PreKLife

My class of preschoolers have been interested in the weather, for obvious reasons. Today, as they painted in the art center, we listened to Vivaldi. One of the 5year-olds said, “This music makes me feel like a millionaire!”😁

One of my 4 year-olds compared and contrasted Jurassic Park with Jurassic World this morning. It was a pretty fair analysis. 🦖😅

I got rage-peed on today.

Again.

Our PreK Weekly Reader this week was about listening ears. We were a living example of “distracted”, the Big Word we learned the meaning of today. #PreKLife

As a part of the beginning of school activity, we had the children draw a self-portrait, tell what they like, how old they are, etc. When asked what he wanted to be when he grows up, he answered, “7”. 😏 We all have goals. #PreKLife

My co-teacher did this fun project with the kids. They are truly a colorful bunch! #PreKLife

Child’s drawing of an airplane, helicopter, two people and other figures

One of my 4 year-olds gave me this drawing as I was leaving this afternoon. “It’s your new passport, Ms. Jennifer.” You never know. I may need to make a quick getaway someday! #PreKLife
😁

This morning, the children were drawing with tempera paint sticks. All five in the first group drew rainbows, celebrating the sunny day. #PreKLife

This morning, some of my littles had a pizza shop and invited me to eat there. I asked about the menu, one child told me the choices. “But, no broccoli! We don’t put broccoli on pizza.” The look of horror on his face as he said this was priceless! 🥦😱 #PreKLife
