Discovery Bay Childcare & Preschool

Today Ms Aileen discussed how germs are spread. We can’t see germs unless we have a microscope so we used green glitter. She sprinkled glitter on a child’s hand, had them rub them together to see how it’s now in both hands. She then had that child shake another child’s hand and touched their shirt to show how the germ has passed to another child and to one more so they can see how far it passes. Next we had them wash their hands with soap and sang to show the germ comes off. She also had a water bottle and pretended to sneeze so they can see and feel a sneeze. The rule of thumb here is use a tissue and throw in the toilet or sneeze, cough into our shirts to catch the germs.

We had our fire and earthquake drills today and talked about safety as well as a video on earthquakes, see link and I also added a few pictures of what we talked about today. https://youtu.be/AmFHOgP35vo

Today we hammered words into a sentence. They thought that was fun since it was action filled activity. We also decided to write our names where ever we wanted rather than the table. And we celebrated a birthday today.

So far most of our group can read 11 words. I love to see their excitement
