Wondrous Winter Wonderland 

Our littles in Room 4 have been discovering all things winter (well, some things…) complete with actual snow (well, manufactured…). Hey,we’re Californians! At least we can see snow on our mountains….

Introducing our newest Room 4 teaching team member…Ms Alex! We love her!!

Rosca De Reyes in Room 4

 Look! He found the baby!  We have been learning all about the role of the wise men in the Story of Jesus birth. Today and tomorrow we will be celebrating Rosca De Reyes (King’s Day). In Mexico this is the traditional celebration of the Wise men arriving with gifts for the infant King. Rosca De Reyes is January 6.

Traditionally, if you find the baby you are responsible for feeding the group next month at the same time. 😉(no pressure, families! 😜)

A Musical Visit

The preschoolers enjoyed a visit from PCS orchestral students. The 5th grade students played a selection of songs and then demonstrated each instrument by explaining the various parts of each instrument and playing a few individual notes. The preschoolers were eager to say which instrument they liked best. One little friend danced through the whole show…a musician in the making!



  

Resting our bodies and minds…(Room 4)

Our mornings at preschool are BUSY! We play, sing, dance, read, climb, dig, jump, talk, socialize, and SO much more! Nap time provides much-needed rest for our bodies and minds.

 According to Kids Health (click for full article), “Crucial physical and mental development occurs in early childhood, and naps provide much-needed downtime for growth and rejuvenation.”

Also, “well-rested kids are quicker to settle down at night than overtired ones. Overtired kids are often “wired” and restless, unable to self-soothe at bedtime, and more likely to wake through the night.”

We love nap time at preschool…but we are always ready for the kiddos to wake and playtime to begin all over again!
