A Great First Week

By -
We had a fantastic first week of preschool! 

In discussing our hopes and dreams for the school year, the kids seemed to concentrate most of their hopes and dreams around playing outside (dreams that I hope grow and grow well into adulthood)


 The climbing structure was a particular favorite for some.





Swinging "really, really high" was a favorite for others.


And thanks to some special parents, we have a new mud kitchen that the kids absolutely love!
  They have made cakes, cookies, soups and a variety of other imaginary concoctions from dirt, wood chips, sticks, and grass.  It's been a fantastic addition to our playground.


Best of all, everyone is making new friends!

Snake Skin When snakes grow, they shed their skin. Snake Habitat Game The REAL thing!!
