Adopt-A-Peep Day!

Today in preschool the 4 year olds had fun learning responsibility through our Peep Adoption activity. Each child was responsible for the care of a marshmallow peep for the whole day. (eating our chick would make us not responsible, one child pointed out) We made homes for them, gave them names, learned how to hold them gently and even taught them how to eat sugar! It was great practice for when our baby chicks hatch this week!

Some of our favorite chick names included: Sparkle, Dino, Marie, Shoeshine and Michael Jackson!

Our Favorite Week of the Year is Here!

This week is embryology week at preschool! We have an incubator full of eggs that will be hatching at the end of the week! We are learning all about the life cycle of a chicken and how they grow! We are also learning about and practicing responsibility as we care for the eggs and baby chicks!

Tomorrow and Thursday we will be practicing responsibility by adopting our own marshmallow Peeps! We will be able to make them homes and even teach them how to eat!

Bugs!

This week we have been having a blast as we learn all about bugs! Today we made butterfly toast and our very own paper bugs! We also had a tub full of live worms to explore and hold! We were all very brave!

BUGS, BUGS BEAUTIFUL BUGS!

Please dress your child in sturdy washable clothing this week, as along with our Insect Unit, we will be doing lots of painting and will also dig in the dirt in trays in our school to find bugs!

Just a reminder to those who wish to enroll a child for next year, we are now in the open enrollment stage, where enrollment is open to the general public.  To ensure that your child gets a spot, please return your forms and deposit and check the list to secure the session you wish.

Daddy Dressups!

Last week in preschool we had fun dressing up as dads for one of our centers! Surprisingly, almost all of the girls were excited to participate, but lots of boys opted to just watch :)
