May 2015
Ms. Tyminski's Preschool Class
Play Theme
During the month of May our play theme will continue to be Doctor, Hospital, and the addition of the Dentist office. We have been talking about how to let others know we are not feeling well, or when something hurts. Some of our fine motor tasks have involved peeling and sticking band aides to "people" on paper, on our toys, and on our own "boo boos". Please continue to talk with your children about how doctors, nurses, police, EMT's, and firefighters are around the neighborhood to help when we are in trouble or really hurt and need more than just a hug and a band aide.
Outside Time
With the weather warming up we are spending many of our afternoons after snack out on the playground. Please make sure your child has on the right clothing and shoes to be playing out in the sunshine, and on mulch. If you would like to send a water bottle we will bring these outside with us.

Lawrence Township does hold a parade and all children are invited to walk with their families. The flyer for this even was sent home on April 28th.
Planted flowers and Finding worms
As a class we planted some flowers {which have not grown :(}. We then went on a worm hunt to find some worms outside after a rain storm.
Working on our window display
We worked as a class to make our window display for spring. It states Welcome Spring. Here Adonias is making the letter L with pulled cotton balls, L cut out, and glue.
Washing Babies
After painting with the babies we had to wash them. We washed them like the nurses would do in the hospital nursery.
