“FARM DAY”

The farm animals came to visit our school and the kids were very excited. The kids were able to touch the bunnies, turtle, sheep, goats and the lama. To prepare the kids for this event we read books about farms and the jobs the farmer does; and what kinds of animals live in the farm.

We emphasized being “gentle,” and using “two fingers,” when touching the animals.

PASADENA FIRE STATION VISIT

The Pasadena Fire, Station 33, came to visit our school. For our class it was a thrilling event. The kids got to learn three important numbers in case of an emergency “911”.

One of the fireman showed us how he gets dressed in his fireman gear. ***He was fast!***

The kids got to touch and feel the big yellow jacket and see the oxygen mask and tank.

The kids learned to not be afraid of the big yellow jacket, boots and mask.

Whoa! We all got a turn to walk inside the fire truck and look at the headphones, big seats and big red boxes.

Our favorite fire truck books and songs.

APPLES IN SEPTEMBER

Learning all about different kinds of apples was exciting, fun and rewarding for classroom 4. Parent participation was key for our eventful lesson plan.

Parent Site Work Day 2023!

Thank you so much to all the parents who came to lend their time, strength, and supplies to refresh, reset, and renew our school. It was a fantastic day, and the preschool looks terrific!

Messy Masterpieces

Art is a wonderful way to allow preschoolers to express themselves freely. It’s a playful, enjoyable activity that brings joy and a sense of accomplishment. Art encourages problem-solving as children figure out how to make their ideas come to life which supports cognitive development. Sensory-rich activities engage a child’s senses and promote sensory development. Art allows children to explore, experiment, and have a great time while doing so.

Younger Pod Patio Is Off To A Great Start!

It has been fun getting to know our young friends. Our new school year is off to a great start. The kids have been exploring the younger pod patio and enjoying all our hands on experiences. We want to thank all of those who donated towards our outdoor art easel. And a special thanks to our wonderful room 5 family who purchased our new balance beam as well. If you would like to donate towards our art easel, feel free to contact me, Ms. Carolina, at cmacias@pcs.school. We are looking forward to making memories with your kids this year.
