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!

  

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!

 

Friends in Room 4 have been busily learning about all things fall: pumpkins, apples, planting, harvest, and more! They have been learning to use their fine motor skills to sort beautiful fall colored jewels, they are growing celery stalks from celery stems, and they have been carefully putting together some crafty “quilted clothes” for a scarecrow that will be hung in the front lobby.
