Saving Baby Dinosaurs and Changing the World!











D is for Dinosaurs!  We freeze baby dinos inside ice eggs and then work to melt, chisel, crack, and hammer them to safety.  We freed the dinosaurs!  What a fun experiment :)















We use the giant pumpkins that Silas' family donated to test out both our small and gross motor skills.  Using wooden golf tees and a mallet, we hammer the tees in, pluck them out, and do it all over again.  We even created cool patterns, shapes and even faces on the pumpkins. 





Silas, Bennet and Wilson create a spectacular HQ for our Wild Kratts characters.




Nice circle, Sebastian!



One of our new Scholastic books made us feel all the powerful, brave, and connected feels yesterday morning.  What a great read...check it out!

"Changing the world...one crayon at a time."



Cuteness overload!!!

Our Letter D Sound Circle and Science Experiment!


Lowercase ds are tricky!  They sure do look a lot like bs, ps, qs and 9s!


D is for Dinosaur tracks...what a fun activity after rest time!













Our friends are hard at work over here at preschool...look at all that writing!


Nice work in the block area, friends!  That aquarium is pretty awesome!


Dr. Wilson at your service :)


Bennett explains, step by step, how a doctor uses a stethoscope to check your lungs and heart.






D is for Demonstrate! 
After Anya's awesome show and tell (a gender reveal balloon for her baby sister :), we become intrigued by the balloon configuration and how the outer balloon didn't pop (but the inner balloon did) when Anya pushed a pin into it at the gender reveal party.  You know we had to try it!  A sticker, a balloon, a tac, some tape, and about 5 minutes later and VOILA! our own science experiment.  
Ask your kiddo all about it! 


Our letter D sound circle!  Dragons, dinosaurs, dolls, and donuts, oh my!
