Our Room 4 friends loved making stone soup together! Inspired by our story: Fox Tale Soup, they safely helped chop up some vegetables, which we enjoyed later for our yummy soup lunch! Along with it, we had pumpkin and apple pie, fruit, and bread rolls.
A big thank you to our families for your generosity and helping hands. We are so grateful, have a Happy Thanksgiving!

We have had a blast this October! From exciting outdoor and indoor activities to a special visit from our police officer friends and McGruff. Our friends went on a nature hunt that turned into an art project we were able to explore and observe after! We wrapped up the month off celebrating our Apple and Pumpkin days by decorating sugar cookies!
A big thank you to our parents for all of your help!
As we move into a new year, we want to reminisce on how wonderful the last one was. December was especially magical and memorable for us here at PCS. From festive crafts to joyful celebrations, we filled our days with creativity, learning, and laughter. Here is a look back at the activities that made this year extra special:
We decorated our classroom Christmas tree with special ornaments that the kids brought from home.
Our little artists were busy creating seasonal masterpieces! From gingerbread houses to glittery ornaments, the children explored textures, colors, and their imaginations. Some of these crafts were extra special because they were made in collaboration with parents.
The highlights of December were our Grandparent and Happy Birthday Jesus celebrations. Grandparents and parents joined us for songs, crafts, and a special performance by the children. The preschool was filled with joy as we sang holiday songs and shared gratitude to God for a wonderful year.
We read classic holiday stories during outdoor play, in the coziest library nook. We had a delicious hot cocoa treat, in our pajamas, then, Mr. Tim came into our classroom and read a Christmas favorite, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. ‘Twas a wonderfully cheery day!
As we reflect on all the fun and growth from this past year, we’re excited about what the new year will bring. Thank you to our incredible preschool families for your support and involvement.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
Ms. Mariza, Ms. Ray, & Ms. Jas
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.
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” -Romans 8:14
What a fun filled artsy year of creativity and exploration!
The kids seem to have more fun on our second day of snow fun. They were pros at climbing on the sled and enjoying the ride down the slope. We had a snowball fight and even got to make a bigger snowman. Hip, hip, hooray!
What an exciting day we had outside our parking lot. We touched the snow. We climb on the hill and slide down on the sled. We threw snow ball at teachers and our friends too. We also attempted to make a big snowman but ended up with a little one.
Our air quality was good today so got to enjoy our outdoors. Hooray!!!
This month we read many different apple and pumpkin books such as; “Up,up, up It’s Apple Picking Time” by Judy Flickes Shapiro, “The Biggest Apple Ever,” “The Biggest Pumpkin Surprise Ever!” by Steven Kroll, “The Apples on the Tree,” by Steve Metzger, “Plumpy, Dumply Pumpkin,” by Mary Serfozo, “Too Many Pumpkins,” by Linda White, “The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything,” by Linda Williams and “ The Pumpkin Patch Parable,” by Liz Curtis Higgs. Some of these books are too long for some of our kiddos so we paraphrase them as we see fit. During circle time we picked special books to read and others were read through out the day.
Our pumpkin patch on the loft was decorated with all the pumpkins you all brought to class, it looks adorable.🥰 Today we all indulge in some popcorn and a movie and a gummy worm.
In preparation for Stone Soup we began reading Fox Tail Soup by Tony Bonning. We also tasted and painted with all kinds of vegetables. The children had lots of fun using prior knowledge from our story to make their own Stone Soup in our dramatic play area. They had the opportunity to practice holding a knife and cutting pretend Velcro vegetables. We had the chance to utilize our sensory table by giving the children a chance to wash and scrub some toy vegetables. With this lesson the children learned that vegetables are healthy and nutritious and will make their bodies big and strong Thank you for our amazing parent who volunteered and made some amazing soup.
