The Preschool would like to welcome Mrs. Elizabeth to our family! She has been a substitute over the last few months and will be with us the rest of the school year! We are so excited to have her! Welcome! :)
 
 
The preschoolers have been exploring all sorts of dramatic play with new clothing and objects in the kitchens as well as with a "cave". Mrs. Nichols' room made some fun foamy paint with shaving cream and glue the other day and made some snowman in celebration of our snow day! (Very neat stuff to try at home!) And in Ms. Caitlin's room, the preschoolers have been learning about hibernation and hibernating in a cave we painted!
 
 
 
Some fun dress-up play!

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.
