Snooowww much fun!

By -
The weather has been crazy again this week with snow, rain, and wind, but that does not bother the preschoolers! They have been having fun doing some fun wintery crafts inside as well as playing in the new snow we have outside!


We made some great snow people and reindeer with playdough!









We also made some beautiful snowflakes to decorate our windows with!





The preschoolers also played in the "snow" with some animals they might see out their windows at home or at school. 
We have been noticing some turkey tracks on our playground and has sparked a lot of questions: where do they live, what do they eat, and where do they sleep?



And of course Ruby snuggles and marbles are always a hit!




**Important Reminders!**
 
- Our annual holiday craft day is this coming Tuesday Dec. 4th! If you have time available that day to help us make some crafts that would be greatly appreciated! Please sign up in your home room for a specific craft you are interested in! Thank you!

-Also a reminder to please pack extra mittens and clothes for your preschooler. Lately the snow has been super wet and soaking through our outdoor gear and making our clothes wet and our hands cold!

- The holiday break is the week of the 24th through the 2nd!

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.
