Some fun painting and planting!

By -
The preschoolers this week worked hard on their Thank you card to the Hartford Fire and Police department. They used their feet to make a police car and a fire truck! It was super fun painting our feet (we were ticklish for sure!) and then dunking them in the water after we stepped on the paper. We want to say a big thank you to Briana, Cooper's mom and sister Elise for helping Mrs. Nichols and Mrs. L with all the work! Thank you so much! :)




Eggs anyone?



This week has been a wonderful weather week for sure! We have been spending a lot of time outside on both our preschool playground as well as the "big" playground. The preschoolers love exploring both places!









Snagging a hug!


Counting dandelions!

Over the course of the week, we have been learning about living and non living things. We have been exploring and studying plants as well as thinking about what makes something alive? Both classrooms have some different types of plants to see how they grow and change over time.

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.
