Things are Hopping in Preschool

Preschool this week has been learning about rabbits and textures. Large muscle activities have included hopping on letters, trying the bunny hop, and our favorite hopscotch. In art time we created bunny masks complete with fluffy cotton ears. One of our science lessons was exploring a bunny’s favorite treat... carrots!

We began by talking about how rabbits like carrots and that they are very healthy for people too. Each child had slices of raw carrots and a spoonful of cooked pureed carrots. We talked about how they carrots were the same and how they were different before we taste tested the two items. Matthew and Seobin loved the cooked carrots and had third helpings. Sydney and Isabella enjoyed the raw carrots and had third helpings of them. Jacob and Gabe preferred to finger paint their plates with the pureed carrots but took bites of both types. Emi said both types were good and ate all her samples. Taste testing is so much fun!
