Chefs are in the kitchen!

Learning through play...

Our preschoolers learn so much through play.  Social skills such as sharing, taking turns, kindness, empathy and negotiating are just a few of the most important skills that they learn and are constantly refining in preschool.

One of the favorite areas in the classroom for working on these social skills is our drama area. The interact, communicating and playing out familiar scenes in their lives (in their own unique ways). They make the most unique sandwiches such as the peanut butter, lettuce and green pepper sandwiches that I was fed this morning and the broccoli and asparagus cake that I "ate last week. And it's a good thing that the ice cream isn't real because I'm fed roughly 15 to 20 ice cones a day (usually with more than one scoop).

Along with cooking, taking care of the babies is another favorite activity for the kids in the drama area.  Changing clothes, carrying them around in a backpack, feeding them and administering lots of medication (our baby have been very sick recently).  It's a good thing we have such amazing preschool doctors available to administer the medication and nurse them back to health.


       
          Doing the dishes. Just like home I'm sure.                                  Pizza chef!


Everyone knows that pizza and ice cream cook up well together.


Who doesn't want a Quadruple Decker ice cream cone!



And the outdoor kitchen has gotten just as much action!
