Mr. Lucas came and played some songs from Mexico on his Marimba for us to close out our fiesta week.
The children got to join in the fun with Maracas!

Fiesta Week in Room 2!
Our summer program is off to a great start with “Fiesta” week! The children have been enjoying songs in Spanish, Alabare, and Spanish finger plays by Jose-Luis Orozco. They made salsa and on Thursday they got to hit a piñata! We ended the week with Mr. Lucas playing his marimba for us. Even though it was a gloomy week we still squeezed in some water fun!
The Fiesta in Room Five!
The first week of our Fun in the Sun summer camp has been fantastic in Room 5! The theme was “Fiesta!” this week, and our youngest room celebrated it faithfully!
We created maracas and tambourines, read stories about Hispanic culture, scooped and counted beans with festive spoons and “cactus cups” in our sensory bin, and had a blast hanging out on “Fiesta Beach” in our classroom!
For our Bible story this week, we focused on Creation in Genesis 1! Our little ones got to experience their first trip to Chapel Wednesdays in the library on the PCS “big school” campus! How exciting it was to journey onto the campus next door and congregate with their fellow preschoolers in the beautiful library, decorated as a “Surf Shack”, to hear the word of the Lord from the teachers and students in Room 2, who hosted our Chapel this week!
We met “Snappy” the crab- our VBS mascot, and learned about the wonder of God’s Creation! Room 5 also really enjoyed dancing and singing praise together as we learned our new VBS worship songs.
Outside we were busy staying cool. Ms. Cindy knows how to keep our young ones excited and engaged while learning how to enjoy the heat! We danced and played in the sprinklers, pumped colorful water into sorting devices, and bonded together as we got our daily dose of vitamin D- drying off in the warm sunshine.
The fun never stops here at preschool… next week we are learning about Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood!
Piñatas of Parties Past
What do you do with a piñata that has seen its last party? Wear it as a costume, of course!
Red, white, and blue!
This week Room 5 had a fully saturated America-themed curriculum! We used red, white, and blue colors in our art, in our building and color matching, even in our special snack!
We read “The Scrambled States of America” by Laurie Keller and discussed the many names for where we live, and the states where we may have friends and family members. Our youngsters’ geography lesson was accompanied by acknowledging what Memorial Day is really all about. We talked about the soldiers, the pilots, all the Armed Forces which serve and protect America- some of whom are also our Mommies, Daddies, Uncles, Aunts, Grandpas, etc. As we enjoy our long weekend, it’s good for our youngest friends to begin to understand why we have these important holidays- to celebrate and remember our fallen soldiers!
For a healthy, patriotic treat we enjoyed red ripe strawberries, fluffy white cream cheese, and fresh juicy blueberries. Red, white, and blue!
The leftovers were lovingly fed to our bunny rabbit, Mopsy. Happy Memorial Day, Mopsy!
We pray everyone has a safe and happy weekend.
God bless America!!!
Um, Who Left Out the Shaving Cream?!?!?!
Well, if a picture is worth a thousand words….
On the plus side, we had a blast and our hair is squeaky clean! 😜
You’ve Got Mail!
Room 1 friends were elated when they heard the exciting news…
We received a package from author Deborah Diesen herself! She saw our art based on her book, The Pout-Pout Fish in the Big-Big Dark right here on our blog and sent us this note…
She liked our creations and took the time to send us a note and signed bookmarks!
We hope she gets our package soon and enjoys reading our thank you cards!
It’s not every day an author sends you mail! She is “O-fish-ally” the coolest author we know!
Freedom!
Today we realeased our beautiful winged friends into the great outdoors. It was definitely bitter sweet for some, but wholly exciting! Here’s a look-see….
It’s Spring Time!
Room 2 has Sprung into Spring
April has brought some fun activities for Room 2. From field trips to Descanso Gardens, Robot making, and week of the young child, we have enjoyed it all!
For the Week of the Young Child, the children and teachers got to participate in pajama day, crazy hat day, mismatch day, color day (orange for Rm , and fruit day!
The children used boxes to create their own robot costume. They first made blueprint designs of what they wanted the robot to look like.
They then voted on the colors they wanted to paint the boxes…
and then added the small details.
After it dried, it was wearable.
The children also enjoyed the rock star dress up in our outdoor environment.
