Let’s Wash Our Hands
Our preschool theme for the year, “All Hands on Deck,” has already been taking place in room 3 as we taught the children how to properly wash their hands. We started with an interactive demonstration pouring a little black pepper into a container of water, a cut-out hand at the bottom of the container, and dish soap. The black pepper represents germs, and each child applied a drop of soap to the pepper water, which repelled the pepper. Then we gave each child hand soap, taught them how to scrub both sides of their hands and in between their fingers before rinsing with water and drying with a paper towel. Last week, we also read Pete the Kitty Wash Your Hands to help us implement this lesson. Everyone had fun and did a great job!
Hot Days mean Water Play! 🤗
We have had a lot of hot days lately, which means lots of water play! We have been splashing in water tables and building sand castles. 💦 🤗 💦
Welcome back to Toddler A
We are in the full swing of the school year, with new adventures around every turn. Our toddlers are learning so much in our first weeks. Learning good byes from home are short before the “I’m back”.
Here is some of first week fun.
Sand, water, playdough and more!
Welcome back to a new school year!
We’ve had such a wonderful start together in these first two days. Our kiddos have been busy exploring—painting, building with Legos, and dancing. They’ve also enjoyed digging in the sand, splashing in the water, and rolling out playdough.
Pump n Splash on the last day of summer!
We have had such a great summer! We have been playing in water, sand , bubbles and more! Today we had pump n splash water play and a pizza party! We look forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks for our new school year!
So Long, Friends
Summer is at an end, and we want to showcase some of the fun times that we had together.
We had lots of birthdays to celebrate this summer, and our lovely parents have provided us with special snacks to help us celebrate. Special snacks can be cut fruit, juice boxes, allergy friendly granola bites, and can sometimes be as grand as popsicles or a pizza party!
We also had lots of water and bubble play to cool ourselves from the summer heat. Water pads and preschool car washes were the crowd favorites.
We enjoyed lots of ocean-themed art projects and dancing. We would have the children dance to songs without looking at the screen to see how well they remembered the movements. We also identified shapes while doing glow in the dark dancing with glow sticks and our colorful classroom lights.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our Heavenly Father, so we would praise Him by reading Bible stories together in the classroom and at chapel with the whole preschool each week.
We are grateful for all of the fun we’ve had with our friends, and we send prayers to the families who will not return in the Fall. We pray the Lord will be with you in your transitions and give you grace and patience for yourselves and each other. Take care, and God bless 🙏.
More summer fun 🤩
“SUMMER SESSION #2”
The kiddos assembled their special snack, starting with half a graham cracker. Next, they spread a vibrant blue frosting and then crowned it with one Swedish Fish—mmm, mmm, mmm!
We’ve had such a fun and educational time in preschool lately, diving into activities that help our little learners grow! For math skills, we’ve been observing just how big our “grow creatures” grew, giving the children a hands-on way to explore measurement and comparison. It’s wonderful to see their excitement as they watch things change and get bigger! To sharpen their fine motor skills and spark creativity, we also enjoyed a fantastic art project: “Fish in a Bowl”. Using stickers and markers, the children created their own vibrant underwater scenes, which is not only fun but also excellent for developing their hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity. We’re always finding new ways to make learning an engaging adventure!
