The beautiful Spring weather caused our zoo animals to escape! Luckily we had our preschool "Zoo Keepers" to track them down!

Kokopelli Preschoolers had so much fun learning outside today! We wrote and read letters then sprayed them with water bottles. We counted in tens, caught insects, and made our own caterpillars!

We had such a fun week celebrating "The Week of the Young Child" 😊 Check out some of the fun activities we did!

Thank goodness spring is here! The outdoors became our classroom today as we threw paint filled eggs to create a beautiful and fun masterpiece. Then we went on a senses walk to find signs of spring. We drew pictures of what we saw around us and shared our drawings with the class.

Attention Kokopelli Families! We are looking for small appliances you no longer need for an upcoming STEAM project. Students will be exercising their engineering skills by pulling apart these gadgets. We will also be transforming pieces into a unique art project inspired by John Chamberlain. You can drop these items off at the front desk. Thank you! This message has been brought to you by Kokopelli Preschool News :)

A Monet Inspired Art Lesson!
We studied Monet paintings this week and created our own versions of "Water Lilies" as we were introduced to impressionism and color blending.

A leprechaun came to our preschool today! We went on a treasure hunt to find his gold. We had to complete a series of tasks including counting, writing, building, and painting. We finally found his treasure :)

STEAM of the week - Kokopelli preschoolers are learning about hibernation! Students acted out a movement story and pretended to be brown bears going into hibernation. We completed a bear obstacle course, made a bear den and crafted a very special home for our bears. #preschool #seymour #steam

Holiday Fun! This week we went though an obstacle course full of jingle bells! We acted like tiny elves and tried not to ring the bells. We also had to solve a secret code by using special paint! We uncovered shapes, letters, and numbers.

Had a beautiful moment with our preschoolers this week during our yoga and mindfulness class. We pretened our bodies were snowflakes spinning around a snowstorm while we shook our snowy glitter jar. Then we became still and quiet as we watched the magic snow settle to the bottom. These three year olds did an incredible job of calming their bodies and minds.

S.T.E.A.M - Exploring Sound
Our students were presented with scientific questions around the theme of sound. Children came up with their own hypothesis and then performed science experiments to draw a conclusion. Some of the concepts we explored included:

How do fish hear underwater?
Can we see sound?
What are sound waves?
Can we make music with water?

Artist of the Month - Wassily Kandinsky
Our preschoolers studied the famous artist and observed his art work. Each child created their own master piece inspired by Kandinsky.

S.T.E.AM of the week!
This week at Kokopelli Preschool we studied spiders and spiderwebs! We learned why spider webs are sticky and tried to catch "flies" in a giant web! We looked at different shaped webs and created our own webs. Then t we had spider races by using different tools to get the spiders to the finish line. We tried to use straws, our own air, fingers, and a fan.
