Miss Linsey's Preschool Summer Camp Information

2009-06-12T12:18:00.000-07:00

Hey there... My name is Linsey Christensen. I am Miss Nicole's sister. I am a 2007 graduate from Bear River High School. I am currently a student at Weber State University pursuing a degree in microbiology. My long-term goal is to attend medical school, specializing in pediatrics. This past six months, I have been teaching English in Kiev, Ukraine with the International Language Program. I worked with several different children with the age ranges 4-12. This was such an amazing experience for me and I enjoyed the opportunity to watch those children develop and grow!

Under the direction of Miss Nicole, I am excited to announce the Preschool Summer Camp! These classes will be literacy based, fun, interactive, and creative. I will be presenting the following classes:

June 23 - Pinkalicious: Based on the darling children's book by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann. Come join me for a day filled with PINK! Be sure to wear your favorite pinkalicious outfit!

July 14 - Big Red Barn: Come in your cowboy hats ready to play with the farm animals. (Kittens & goats)

July 20 - Rumble in the Jungle: Come learn about the jungle and all the animals that live there.
July 22 - Commotion in the Ocean: Let's go on an ocean adventure! We will learn about what lives under the ocean and even have a water party! Don't forget to dress to get wet!
July 28 - Learn with the Dinosaurs: Experience learning like never before! We will be exploring the world of prehistoric dinosaurs.
July 30 - Tourin' the Town: We will be visiting some of the sites Tremonton has to offer! ( 4-5 year olds only please.)

Some catching up to do!

2009-01-09T20:51:00.001-08:00

AHHHHHHHH! Parents, I really am trying to post pics of your cute kiddos. This blog is sooooooo slow. It takes about 15 minutes per pic, and it's still not a guarantee that it will post at all. All of my blogs are slow, but this preschool one is the worst. Sorry! I'll keep at it.

Kids say the funniest things!

2008-10-20T14:48:00.000-07:00

This preschool blog is just not letting me upload pics for some reason. If they do post it seems to be plain luck. I'll keep working at it, but I thought I would share some of the funny things your kids are saying!

"Teacher guess what, I get to go to Lagoon or the moon or something like that"!

One little preschooler came to school with band aids all the way up her shin... child 1 says, "What happened to you"? Child 2 says, "I got bit by a monkey". Child 1, "Well it looks like you got bit by a lot of monkeys"!

"Teacher my new name is Chewbacka (sp?) but you can call me Chewey".

The kids got into a "My dad is the biggest and my dad is bigger than your dad" conversation one day. One little girl said, "Oh yah, well my MOM is the biggest in the whole wide world".

"Teacher my eyes are very sick"
"Why are your eyes sick"
"Because they have tears in them"

Finally Some Pics!!!

2008-10-17T16:35:00.000-07:00

Hello!

2008-10-11T06:45:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that I DO have some really cute pics to post, I just can't seem to get blogger to cooperate. For some reason it WILL NOT let me upload anything but text. Keep watching and I'll keep working on it.

New School Year!

2008-09-07T08:47:00.000-07:00

"HOO"ray we have started a new year. I am so excited for my new little preschoolers. Our first week was so much fun. I have the cutest kids ever (again)! I can't wait to start posting pictures! Here are some of the songs we are going to sing this week.

I am special
I am special
If you look, you will see
Someone very special
Someone very special
It is me
It is me
(tune: Frere' Jacques)

Special, Special, Special Me
How I wonder what I'll be
In this big world I can be
Anything I want to be
Special, Special, Special Me
How I wonder what I'll be
(tune: Twinkle Twinkle)

Happy Mother's Day

Spring Has Sprung On The Farm

2008-04-25T14:00:00.000-07:00

We had a great time at The American West Heritage Center. Thanks to all those families who came and shared the day.

(Parents, I'm trying to upload more pictures from the farm, but for some reason they are taking about 5-10 min per pic to load. Sorry!)

Happy Easter

2008-04-03T14:32:00.000-07:00

Because of the cold weather we had our Easter Egg Hunt inside this year. The kids had to hunt for eggs and prizes in the preschool. We had fun filling their "bunny bags" with goodies.

Field Trip

2008-04-03T14:18:00.000-07:00

Wow! Was my last post really February 18th! Sorry parents. I'll see if I can't get things caught up and stay up to date a little better. These pics are from our field trip. We visited the police station, fire department and the post office. It was a very busy day! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of my wonderful mom helpers! I appreciate your support so much.

Check It Out!!!

2008-02-18T14:11:00.001-08:00

Parents, I just wanted to give you the address to one of my favorite educational web sights (www.starfall.com)! I used this sight a lot when teaching first grade. It has activities, games, and on-line books for all different levels. It would be great for preschoolers working on their ABC's or those that are getting ready to start reading. I have added a link to their websight, it is definitely worth checking out!

Happy Valentines

2008-02-18T13:36:00.000-08:00

Wow! The kids were very impressed with Valentines Day! They were so excited to pass out valentines to each other. I had to publish the "valentine kids" one of the afternoon preschoolers brought. SO CUTE!!! After I put their valentine bags into their backpacks I told them to be very careful not to let their treats get squashed. I have never seen them walk so carefully! It was a fun day, and I sure do "LOVE" my preschoolers!

Learning our Shapes

2008-02-18T13:30:00.000-08:00

We have been working hard to learn the names of our shapes this month. The kids had fun trying to jump frogs to land on different shapes. When their frog landed on a shape they had to name the shape.

Snow! Snow! Snow!

2008-02-04T15:22:00.000-08:00

After a month of collecting milk jugs (thanks to all of our milk drinkin' families) we were able to collect enough to make a pretty
good igloo! We tested it out by having an indoor snowball fight. The kids LOVED it!

Winter is Here!

2008-01-24T15:38:00.000-08:00

We made our own snow folks based on the book Snowballs by Lois Ehlert! They turned out really cute! ("snowgirl" by O.M. and "snowpuppy" by M.C.)

Happy Birthday A.A. Milne

2008-01-24T15:29:00.000-08:00

We celebrated the author A.A. Milne's birthday by having a Winnie the Pooh day! All of the preschool kids brought an old bear (or favorite animal) from home. We read books written by A.A. Milne, sang songs about Winnie the Pooh, and ate buscuits and HONEY! We love Winnie the Pooh!

Welcome Back!

2008-01-03T15:28:00.000-08:00

Welcome back to preschool. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Our theme for the month of January will be "Winter is Here". We will be reading books about snowflakes, snowmen, penguins, mittens, and hats! We will be building an igloo out of milk jugs (if we can collect enough)! It will be a busy month.

Thank You

2007-11-26T15:34:00.000-08:00

While thinking about all of the things I am thankful for I couldn't help but think of my special little preschoolers! They bring so much happiness to my life. Thank you for sharing them with me!

Happy Thanksgiving

2007-11-26T15:31:00.001-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We had a fun Thanksgiving "feast" on Tuesday. We ate turkey sandwiches, chips, apples, and cookies. YUM! The kids thought it was fun to eat on an orange tablecloth.

All the COLORS of Fall!

Pumpkin' Pickin

After we read he book The Littlest Pumpkin we visited our own "pumpkin stand" to choose a little pumpkin of our very own!

Best Buds

2007-10-15T06:19:00.000-07:00

Easter

2007-04-30T06:51:00.000-07:00

The Easter egg hunt was a big success! I had to laugh when a mom told me that her preschooler had said that he was worried because Ms. Nicole had taken a lot of eggs from the Easter Bunny!

St. Patrick's Day

2007-03-23T21:54:00.000-07:00

We had a "green" party to celebrate St. Patrick's day. We all wore green to preschool! We made green pancakes and green punch. The kids were amazed when we put the "magic leprechaun drops" into our mix and the pancakes turned green!

Dinosaur Days

2007-03-06T15:39:00.000-08:00

What a fun unit! The kids were amazed to learn so many fun dino facts. They couldn't believe that there were dinosaurs larger than my house! We dug for dinosaurs like real scientists, hatched out dinosaur eggs, read dino books, and even wrote about dinosaurs. Thanks to our parents for your help with our dino homework. It was one of our favorite units so far!

Celebrating Jan Brett

2007-02-21T15:00:00.000-08:00

We had fun learning about the author Jan Brett and reading several of her books. We celebrated The Hat by wearing crazy hats to preschool.
