Today was "O Day" and we had the privilege of hosting. We learned about a mother screech owl, where orange juice comes from, and about octopuses. "Old MacDonald" also made an appearance (by way of song) at the start of the morning. We had some interesting animals visit his farm today including a bird, duck, horse, and penguin (way to go, Heath!). A video about chimpanzees seemed to pique the kid's interest during "snack time" (and nursing time!). Yes, I know it doesn't start with "o" but it is a great, fun, and informative DVD that we got for Christmas (thanks, Crooms!). Here is the pictorial of preschool...
Showing off our "paper plate owls." They were so cute and were making "hoo-hoo" sounds as they were getting ready for the picture.
After reading "What Was it Before it Was Orange Juice?" we made our own orange juice. Here Ruthie is drinking her homemade juice. They all did great taking turns and juicing their oranges.
We also read "An Octopus is Amazing" which is a great book and really gives the kids good scientific information about octopuses but will also keep their attention. Then, we watched a video on YouTube showing an octopus changing colors and "inking." Of course we had to make octopuses to take home, play with, and show our daddys!
After an easy lunch of black beans and rice, all the kiddos played on the back deck with our soccer balls in the absolutely gorgeous 60 degree weather we're having! After everyone left, I found MF sitting here, on our recycling bins, "taking a break." She's a hoot!
