Resources for our Pre-K Students
Busy Bee Activities and Resources:
Our letter this week will be "G". The Bees should practice writing the letter and brainstorm "g" sounding words.
At Tuesday's Zoom meeting, we will ask the Bees to tell us some of those words.
We will read the "Alpha Tales: G" story, and also be discussing Treasure Box Show and Tell!
The At-Home STEAM Lab
I have a brand new resource to help you and your students' parents called the At Home STEAM Lab.
Inside this limited time resource, I've shared a few of our popular STEAM Units from inside the Member Lab (our paid membership program).
You may share these links with parents or use them yourself.
Right now, we have over 30 STEAM lessons inside the At-Home STEAM Lab,
and it will be available through April and May.
Ms. Kelly reads "Peter & the Wolf"
Cool Cat Activities and Resources:
It is now officially Spring, and the Cool Cats will be learning about Spring all week!
Here is a list of activities you can do with your child at home.
Remember, all of these activities are completely optional and you can pick and choose which ones you would like to do with your child.
Please share pictures and videos of what you do; we would love to see your creations!

The letter of the week is V! What V words do you know?
Tomorrow for our Zoom meeting, you can bring an item that starts with V to share with your friends!
Ms. Laurie will also be making a volcano in real time during our meeting. I
f you would like to make one too with us, bring a container, baking soda, and vinegar!
What do you think will happen?
Spring Nature Walk
Go on a Spring walk around the neighborhood and see what Spring things you can see.
Are there flowers blooming? Are the trees getting any leaves?
How about any baby animals? Birds nests up in trees?
How do Roots Work?
Here is a neat experiment to show how roots work when a plant grows.
You need celery stalks (preferably ones with greens on the tops), two tall glasses of water and food coloring.
Place a different color of food coloring in each cup of water, and then place one celery stalk in each cup, with the greens at the top.
Watch and discuss daily. What happens to the top of the celery stalks?
Recycled Garden
Use recycled materials to make your own flower garden!
Jar lids and cardboard boxes can make flowers, bottle caps and marker caps can be leaves, and shredded paper can be grass.
You can add insects, a sun, and anything else you can think of to make your garden unique.
Finger Paint Flowers
Use finger paints to make a beautiful flower garden.
You can use finger tips or the sides of your fists to make flowers, and your hands to make the leaves!
Leaf and Flower Art
Use real leaves and flowers to create wonderful pictures!
Experiment with different strokes and colors and see what designs you can make.
You can use the flowers and leaves as paintbrushes, or use them as stamps.
You can also put paper on top of the leaves and flowers, and use crayons to make leaf and flower prints.
Spring Cleaning
Now is the perfect time to clean your house and get it ready for Spring!
Provide a shallow bin filled with warm soapy water and use it to wash toys and anything else you would like.
Use sponges and squirt bottles to clean playground equipment and toys outside as well.
Planting Seeds
You can plant your own seeds and create your own garden!
Since the weather is still a bit chilly, plant them inside first in small cups, and transfer them outside once it gets warmer.
What do plants need to grow? Where would be a good place in the house to put your plant so it gets lots of sun?
Spring Rain Sticks
Paint a paper towel roll in beautiful Spring colors.
Cover one end of the tube and fill it with rice, beans, or small pebbles.
Cover the other end and shake your rain stick!
