Welcome Darwin!

The Westshire Preschool welcomes Darwin to our preschool family! We are so excited to have you join us! :)






Holiday fever is in the air in preschool for sure! We have been all busy, busy, busy! We had some every exciting celebrations as well as visitors this week. First off we wished Henry Atticus a Happy Birthday! He turned 4 this week and celebrated with us with some fun dog cupcakes! They were so yummy!
 

Later in the week, the preschoolers had a very sleepy guest visit! Greta, Henry Atticus' new puppy came for a special visit. Although she was a sleepy girl through it all, the preschoolers were so excited to meet and pet her!











This week the Preschoolers did some fun 3D snowman art as well candy cane beading, and illustrating a picture for their story on what they do at Christmas time. Everyone did a great job with all the projects.















We also did some fun bubbly water play. We loved it!

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.
