President's Day

This week the children learned about why we celebrate President's Day and why our Presidents are so very important.  They talked about some unique things about our most famous Presidents like George Washington and the cherry tree and also Abraham Lincoln's log cabins and top hat.

They also spent some time talking about money because after all, that's a great place to see pictures of some of our Presidents.  The Pre-K children did a "Lincoln Toss" where they flipped a penny and made a chart to show if the penny landed on heads or tails.  Other classrooms took some coins and sorted them by size, color, and by the actual coin.

They also did an experiment by cleaning the pennies.  It was interesting to see how much better the vinegar cleaned the pennies than just plain water!
We did several activities with the letter of the week as well- C!  Some classes made "C is for Cat" and others made "C is for Chamelon".  The children also made Cherry Coke Salad for their cooking project!

 We hope you had a great President's Day and remembered those that have done so much for our country!
