I wanted to start the year off by making time capsules for us to open at the end of our preschool time. We started out by decorating a piece of construction paper......this is going to be wrapped around an empty paper towel roll and will be the capsule for the children's papers.
I then had each child answer some questions (favorite color, favorite toy, favorite food, what they want to be when they grow up) and then they each wrote their name, I weighed them and measured how tall they were. Then each child looked at their self in the mirror and drew a self-portrait.
We rolled up their papers and put them in their own time capsule.
We placed them in a box along with this picture and won't open until May 2013 on our last day of preschool together.
When we open in May, I will have each child answer the same questions again, write their name and weigh and measure them and see how much they have changed.
