Our 1st Field Trip- Tennessee Aquarium

Today we went on our 1st field trip to the Aquarium and we had a wonderful time.
Our class was amazing and our parents were so helpful.
We can't wait till our next field trip!
Each child had a picture book of animals at the aquarium, they had to watch for these and mark them off. It was like an I-Spy game.
We were so excited to see the penguins

Valentine's Celebrations!

It was one of those amazing days in our Pre-k classroom! First we had a terrific story from 2 clowns, wait, not only did they tell us a great story, they did magic tricks, juggled, and were completely delightful. Our children were glued to their every move and were wonderful.













Thanks to our terrific principal, Mrs. Brock, for providing this fantastic treat!
Then we had a "make your own ice cream sundae party" and it was a blast.
I have never seen so many toppings and the kids really enjoyed this special treat. Lots of parents came and ate ice cream with us. I could not do all that we do in this classroom with out them! Thank you, thank you!












Next week is our first field trip, the Tennessee Aquarium! I will bring along my camera and take lots of photos!
