Adventures In WES Preschool!

This week has been a wet one for sure, but the preschoolers have stayed busy doing some fun activities inside.   In Mrs. Nichols room this week, the preschoolers made some silly monsters with our new play-dough! (Thanks James!) We loved adding eyes, wings, and feet to our creations and making them come alive.             Mrs. Nichols' room also got to do a fun sensory activity with shaving cream. We practiced writing letters in our name as well as covering our hands completely! The preschoolers LOVE when we get to play with shaving cream!         In Mrs. Leonard's room this week, we did some serious work hammering golf tee's into pumpkins and gourds.

We have all been waiting so patiently for this area to open. We made so many yummy and interesting meals for our friends, teachers, and especially for our babies. We have a lot of future cooks!       Also this week in Mrs. Leonard's room, the students got to do some glitter painting as well as making some yummy smoothies. We talked a lot about what our favorite

This week in preschool we introduced a new element to our daily schedule. We have split each class in half and had them explore a different classroom with some different friends for a portion of our morning free play and project time. All the students did an amazing job learning and transitioning into a different classroom as well as playing with some new friends! It was exciting to see new friendships blossom!     Also this week we had some exciting experiences with some butterflies hatchings in our classroom!       *Important Reminders!*   -Stay tuned for information on the future fall field trip!!   Have a wacky wonderful weekend! :)
