Big Day for the Preschool!!!

By -
 
Phew! The preschoolers had two exciting things happen today and we are beat! We had our hike up to Southworth Park, which was an amazing time AND we had the West Fairlee Fire Department come and visit our school!
 
 The preschoolers explored the rocks, trees, grass, and banks. They climbed, jumped, and ran around finding bugs and other treasures the park had to offer! We used magnifying glasses to get a closer look at some interesting bugs and greenery. We defiantly had a blast! :)
 


Turkey Feather Trey found on the walk up!

One of the many caterpillars we found :)

The big stump we all liked climbing on.

We all got a chance to sit inside the fire truck! We were all soo excited!!

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.
