April Showers bring May flowers!
The preschoolers this week did some switching of classrooms due to the rain and yucky weather we have had the past few days. The preschoolers got to explore and spend some time in the opposite classroom with different teachers. Each class had a great time playing with all the new toys and materials each room has to offer. 





One of the fun activities we have had this week is playing with water beads or "orb beads"! They are slimy, bouncy, and super fun to scoop and pour!





Some other projects we did is Tractors in the "mud". The preschoolers love seeing all the different tracks the tires make in the very colorful mud.



An egg-cellent dinner! :)

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.
