Preschool
Creepy Crawlies
From underwater adventures into the garden. This week we began our (democratically chosen) new theme… Insects and Spiders. Did you know not all insects are considered bugs? Neither did we until this week! Our major project ended up taking all week as it was a multi step process and we were distracted by challenge doing […]
Animals All Around
Children’s House 2-1 classroom learned all about undersea life this week. Octopi, sharks, eels, whales and dolphins were all around. We all contributed to our Undersea Mural which we hung on the wall to decorate our classroom. We continue to work on many different activities during our “Work Cycle”. Cooperative projects, like puzzles are very […]
In an Octopus’ Garden
Sea life ain’t bad. I can see why so many people retire at the coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our second week exploring the ocean, beach and all that lives around and within. We worked on an “aquarium” project from the end of last week all the way until today. Another fun project we did this […]
Swimming with Sharks!
Sea life is one of my favorite themes and the children’s enthusiasm proved they felt the same. We talked a lot about the different types of creatures that live in the sea while playing games, doing art projects, and reading books on the topic. Some of us made octopuses, most of us made jellyfish, and […]
Honoring Dr. King
We are proud of the Unity, Peace, Love banner we hung in the hallway and talked about being kind to each other and why that’s important. Unfortunately between the short week and me missing a day due to a personal tragedy, none of my friends completed all of their challenges this week. Not to say […]
From Snowmen to Sunbathing in 48 hrs…
What can you say about a week like this? We had a slow start and low numbers as several inches of snow blanketed our school over the weekend, but WE LOVED IT! Even though we had to warm a lot of frozen fingers, we did get a lot of challenges done as the week went […]
Animals and Insects All Around
We are all happy to be back at school after our holiday break at the end of December. Children’s House 2-1 got right back into the swing of learning about the animals and insects that we rely on to keep our world going. During our craft time, we all made beautiful paper butterflies. We read […]
Pending Snowpocalypse!
What a fantastic first week back! We took a minute to readjust to classroom life and spent the rest of the week enjoying our friends to the fullest. So much so that only Livia finished her challenges this week. Congratulations, Livia! Our major project of the week was a mixed media collage that we created […]
The Final Countdown…
What a week! Prepping for our Holiday concert was demanding, but worth it. Our performance was well received and we loved the cookies afterwards…
