(You might notice pieces missing from the watermelons. We'll get to that in a bit.)
The kids used a glue stick to trace over their names.
And then they put black seeds on over the black lines of their names. I just cut out a few different sizes of seeds -- this was all free-hand cutting, for I wasn't going to trace and cut a hundred tiny seeds!
They also colored ants on Monday and I put chunks of their watermelon in the hands of their ants.
I found the ants here and just printed it out and blew them up to the size I needed. I think they are so cute! And then I added this:Here's how it looks in our room!
Last year I used this as my end-of-year display, but I used stencil letters to write out "Any way you slice it, Pre-K was a blast!" and the teachers were the ants.
Oh, Miss Sara, I miss you!!I mentioned in a recent post that my director chooses the weekly themes and this week's theme is Summer Fun Memories. I will also be doing sun prints and rainbow pasta art. When I took this job I was worried about doing projects that I've already blogged about, but I can't let my blog rule my life, right? So if I have repeats in class, I will find an older project to show you. But it will also force me to come up with new projects for old themes. That should be fun!

You may be looking forward to summer, but I can't wait for fall! Colorful leaves, caramel apples, and cool weather. Ahhhhh.....
