Preschool Curriculum- Going to the Doctor

We have been learning about going to the doctor in our preschool curriculum. We have colored pages about all the different tools and things you see in a doctor's office. We also made our own little doctor's bags. We talked about things you see in a doctor's office and what they are used for- stethoscope, tongue depressors, etc. I asked each of the kids what they are used for. When we got to cotton balls, Mason said "you eat them." I laughed and told them they really don't taste good and we talked about what a doctor does do with them- alcohol wipes, stop bleeding, etc. It is amazing how much they do understand about the doctor's office!

We filled their little doctor bags with bandages, cotton balls, q-tips, and a tongue depressor.

Penguins, Penguins, Penguins...

We are studying penguins in our Scholastic preschool curriculum for two weeks. This week we learned about how penguins have waxy feathers that keep them dry. The kids colored their own penguins with crayons, cut them out and experimented with spraying them with water. They were amazed at how the penguin stayed dry even though they sprayed it with water because the crayons are waxy like the penguins feathers. We are also reading books about penguins. Fun!
