"C" is for Cookies

Today we colored then decorated a paper cake with sprinkles. On our cake we placed candles with pictures with other "C" letter words. I think the children now know how to pour sparkles onto glue, then pour onto another sheet of paper and start over pouring the sprinkles by using the previous sprinkles that were poured. It was fun watching them pour then re-pour over and over. I don't think we wasted any sprinkles.

Each of the children were asked to bring cookies for the class. After snack of Cheese and Crackers, we took turns passing out our cookies to one another and placing them in our homemade cookie jars. We had many different types of cookies, from oreos, animal, oatmeal and of course chocolate chip. We played/sang the song "Who Stole the Cookies from the Cookie Jar", and read the book, "Mr. Cookie Baker". I was successful at making my 3 year old class wait to eat their cookies after they left preschool, however I'm sorry to say, my 4-5 year olds couldn't Wait, and had eaten all their cookies before preschool was through. (sorry if that spoiled any lunches or caused any stomach aches).

My older class then practiced cutting. Then we read the story "Bit by Bit" about a Caterpillar that makes a cocoon then eventually turns into a butterfly. The children practiced wrapping yarn around a pom-pom Caterpillar to form a cocoon, and then made a paper Caterpillar with round "C" pictures.
