March

There have been a lot of changes this month! We have started small groups again and there are so many birthdays. Here are a few pictures of our busy, busy month.

Small groups have been missed and we are so glad that we can do them again; we are counting and creating and learning!

Counting with ladybugs and mixing play dough are just a couple of activities that we have done lately. We learned that blue and yellow mixed together make a beautiful green.

We watched a short video about St. Patrick and how he taught others about God.

We also painted caterpillars using blue and yellow paint. Mixing is fun!

Outside is always lots of fun! We have an area for concerts and we love to dress up and sing.

A friend brought an egg and we got to dissolve it in water and see the surprise inside. It was fun and exciting!

We love looking at our caterpillars! They started so small and grow every day. We also love seeing our parent volunteers! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm.

Birthday celebrations are so much fun. We are glad we get to celebrate each birthday.

Even though we have clear skies we have been having fun with umbrella and pretending that it is raining.

We also had a visit from an orthodontist last week. He read us a book about how animals take care of their teeth and we talked about how we take care of ours. He also brought David the dinosaur and showed us how to properly brush our teeth.

All of this and the month isn’t even over yet! We are looking forward to all of the exciting things we have coming next and we will keep you all posted.

February Fun on the Patio

Happy Chinese New Year! We have enjoyed exploring a little bit of Asian culture on the older pod patio. Check out some of the fun!

Valentines Day

Valentines Day has happened and it was all about love! ❤️💕💖💜 Loving each other, loving our families and loving God!

We still have ice in our yard from snow days! We have been playing with that still!

We decorated with hearts, hearts and even more hearts!

We made heart shaped pizza’s that we got to eat with our lunch.

The tables were pretty and the friends loved the decorations.

We enjoyed the pizza and the rest of our lunches!!

We enjoyed the pizza parties so much that on Wednesday we asked the teachers if we could make more pizza!!

Thank you all for everything you did to make our party days special!! We loved it all! 🥰

Snow Days!

Snow Days were so much fun! We got to throw snowballs at each other and go sledding and even made colorful snow. It was a blast and here are a few pictures of the fun!

Happy February!

We are so happy to be together again! This week, on the older pod patio, we’re enjoying a baby bubble bath activity. Check out our friends as they practice showing love to their babies, imitating all the love they have been shown by the ones who care for them.

“We love because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

We’ve also been hard at work painting, moving, building and exploring! Check us out!

SNOW DAYS at PRESCHOOL!

Happy January!

This month on the Older Pod Patio we’ve been diving into all the fun that comes with this month’s winter theme. We’ve been targeting major skills and concepts from our January skills sheet—the colors blue and white, the shape square, knowledge of arctic animals and winter weather. Check out some of the awesome things we’ve been exploring!

January! Hello 2022!

Welcome to 2022! It’s a new year and we are enjoying our classroom. Play is what we do and we do it well. Here are a few pictures of the class at play.

We got to celebrate a couple of birthdays 🥳 with popsicles. It was one of the few warm days that we had and we all enjoyed it.

We love building and working together to create new things. Teamwork makes the dream work!

We love having Mr. Tim in our classroom. He does fun voices when he reads and we always want at least one more story. 📖📚

One of the stories that Mr. Tim has read to us is *Abiyoyo.* We watched his YouTube version a couple of times ( and asked for it a couple more). 🪄🪄

Ms. Kristen’s patio is always a classroom favorite!Recently she has had colored rice which we have used for pouring and filling as well as dry erase markers and stencils.

Painting is a favorite pastime and it helps with our fine motor. 🎨 The class has also been playing doctor in dramatic play. Our imagination is limitless!

Our writing center has always received a lot of love. The friends have have been making pictures for each other. We love playing outside on the structure where we get to run and climb and work on our gross motor skills.

Everyday we get a new chance to explore our environment and play with each other.

And we get to do it all again next week!

New Year, New Classroom

🥳 Happy New Year! 🥳

It is a brand new year and there have been so many changes that we have gone through together. One big change has happened to the physical classroom itself! We moved some areas around and the flooring is different.

We have had a fun time this week exploring the differences and seeing what things are still the same.

Here is a quick look at what the classroom looks like now.

The top photo is what you see when you come in through the parking lot door. And the bottom is our block area.

Dramatic Play and the Writing Center have switched spots! (Mack moved as well).

The table area is pretty much the same; some of the shelves have moved a little.

While there have been many changes we hope that one thing stays the same. That the Room 3 friends still enjoy coming to school and playing with their friends. We know that we love seeing all of you.

We hope you have a great weekend and we will see you all soon!!
