Treasure Hunt

Thursday was an exciting finale to our study of Katy and the Big Snow!
We discussed the directions of North, South, East, and West, labeled our room, and went outside to work with a compass, find North, and make maps for a treasure hunt. Each child received their own individual map with a marked path and set off to find a hidden treasure. Then everyone took turns hiding treasures for their friends to find.
The wonderful weather of the week has been a welcome change and the children have been so eager to just run all over our outside play areas. They have been waiting a long time for that!
Please remember to work on a simple map with your child that shows the way from Apple Blossom Preschool to your own house. We will be sharing those with our friends so everyone can have a sense of where each child lives.
Also, be watching the moon at night and have your child draw what they see with you. Our next book study will be based on Owl Moon by Jane Yolen and we will be hearing and learning a lot about the moon!
