Family Friday! Celebrating our families today in Pre-K! We love seeing the children's faces light up when they share things from home. Today they were excited to show us pictures of their families. Some students also drew pictures of their families.
Artsy Thursday fun!
Artsy Thursday! Kids love art. Making art can improve your child's fine motor skills and enhance their creative problem-solving abilities. When children work on open-ended art projects they make choices, use their imaginations, and create with their hands.
Today our Pre-K students made lots of creative artwork.
Work Together Wednesday! When children build together they explore math and science concepts and develop their social and early literacy skills. Children worked together today using blocks, cups, lego bricks and even built a fort!
Today is Tasty Tuesday! Healthy eating is very important. Today the children tried some yummy fruits and vegetables. First they created a fun food picture, and then they ate their creations!
This week we are celebrating the Week of the Young Child! Today was Music Monday. We made or played instruments while listening to music. The children had fun dancing too!

In Pre-K we're very excited about Spring. In Room 4-children measured their height using bunnies, and learned how to draw Easter chicks. And in Room 2 while playing outdoors, the children enjoyed watching snails!
Spring has sprung in Pre-K. Children in Room 6 enjoyed a picnic and Room 3 had fun playing with a parachute. All students have been busy with Spring activities. We have bunny ears, flower shops and more. Ms. LaTorre also introduced some spring STEM challenges to her class.
Here's a better view of our St. Patrick's Day activities!
Learning about St. Patrick's Day in Pre-K! We asked children to make a Leprechaun trap at home, and we were amazed at all the beautiful work they did! So creative! The children also had fun with St. Patrick's Day activities like using shamrocks to measure their height, working in a bakery and painting leprechauns and shamrocks. And it may be cold outside but we're keeping our bodies active with indoor fun!
