Field Trip to the Hartford Police and Fire Department

By -

Wow the Preschoolers got to experience a great field trip to the Hartford Police and Fire department on Thursday! The Officers and Firemen did an amazing job explaining and showing what they do everyday to keep us safe. The preschoolers got to sit in both a fire engine and police cruiser and take a ride on a stretcher into an Ambulance! We also got to explore both stations as well as all the gear that helps the officers do their job.
The preschoolers had a blast! We want to say a big thank you to the fire and police department as well as to all the parents and grandparents that came and helped the preschoolers have a great experience exploring the stations! They will surely be talking about this amazing field trip for awhile!






Along with our fun adventure to the fire department, we did some switching of classrooms this week as well as some Mother's Day crafts. We hope that all the moms out there have a great and relaxing day on Sunday!






To also add to the excitement, the preschool also added a new dome climber to the playground! The preschoolers have really enjoyed climbing, hanging, and pretending to be monkeys this week! Thank you to Steve and John for putting this together for us! :)

Row, row, row your boat... A good core workout! Preschool is all about working on skills through play.  What from the outside looks like kids just playing, is actually much more.  For example, some of the skills from the state standards that the students in the "boat" above are unknowingly working on are: 1.  Demonstrates balancing skills (ex: getting in and out of the "boat") 2.  Demonstrates gross motor manipulative skills (ex: rocking back and forth using core strength) 3.  Manages feelings (ex: waiting for turns, rocking at the speed of others...) 4.  Follows limits and expectations (ex: rocking safely and under control) 5.  Responds to emotional cues (ex: slow down or stop when they notice others getting scared) 6.  Interacts with peers (ex: talking and signing with each others while rocking)  7.  Makes friends (ex: shared experiences create friendships) 8.  Balances needs and rights of self and others (ex: taking turns with the other students who want to get o

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.
