Octopus and Squid Hotdogs for Snack Time
by Cheryl Villareal on May 20th, 2011
Yum! Octopuses? Squids? Now I wonder what that would taste like! No worries, it's not a real octopus or squid, but it sure is a lot of fun to make!

I myself enjoyed it like a little girl! - What you will need Hotdog (preferably balls or cocktail size) Spaghetti noodles (uncooked) Soup pan Stove - - Step 1: Cut the hotdogs...Read More » Tags

From the moment we get out of bed, we are tasked to make a variety of decisions ranging from really easy to really really difficult! I’m sure I’m not alone in the quest to find the perfect pair of pants or the right shade of powder! Once that problem is solved, new choices need to be made again… what do I eat for lunch? Do I take the extra job? Do I confront the man of my dreams today? Shheesh, when does it stop? We have so many decisions t...Read More » Tags

Watercolor Jellyfish Painting
by Cheryl Villareal on May 15th, 2011
Our theme for the week was sand and sea! I saw several wonderful ideas that I wanted to try, and this was one of it! When I first saw this through TeachPreschool.org, I wondered if the little ones would be able to do it. It looked fairly easy, but then again... maybe not. Still, I decided to give it a go. Regardless of how it turns out, the important thing is that they tried and they had fun! What made this activity great is the unique way of ...Read More » Tags

by Cheryl Villareal on May 7th, 2011

Thumbprint Heart Pendants
by Cheryl Villareal on May 7th, 2011
Plaster of Paris has become my best friend! I just keep discovering things I can do with it! So since Mothers' Day is coming up, we decided to make some necklaces for mom!

Not only is this a unique activity for the kids, but it's something worth keeping forever! This makes me wish I had my own kid so he/she would make...Read More » Tags

Lately, I've seen several private schools organizing their own fun runs. However, I think this is the first school run (excluding college / university fun runs) I've seen which will have a half-marathon! I'm not sure if other schools have done it, but kudos if you have! This is definitely a great way to get the students back outside and away from TOO much technology! - On their 55th anniversary, The Xavier community invites everyone to jo...Read More » Tags

Color Burst with Play Dough and Paint
by Cheryl Villareal on May 5th, 2011
Preschool teachers... I mean, preschool kids (*wink) always have so much fun mixing paint! There are different ways to mix paint and all can be done in such a way that is fun and exciting for the kids. You can always just simple mix the colors in a cup, but you can also try other alternatives such as using a ziploc bag! We did this recently and the kids really had so much fun mixing and mixing! This activity gave them the opportunity to feel the ...Read More » Tags
