First Week of Preschool

First Week of Preschool 2021

We've had a fantastic first week of preschool school.  The kids and staff are getting to know each other and having fun doing all sorts of activities from painting and drawing to climbing and digging.  We've built sand castles, rock structures, Magna Tile towers and more.  This year the preschoolers are also getting a chance to go to PE, music, art, and Library.  What a treat!


 

On Thursday we walked to the brook and and played in the water and sand.  The kids loved to see which rocks made big splashes and which made small ones. We talked a lot about safety: how deep they can wade, how and where to throw rocks so as not to hit anyone, and where to walk so as not to walk in front of a hurling rock.  They did a great job being careful, staying safe and having fun.









Don't forget that Monday is Labor Day, so we don't have school.  We'll see you all on Tuesday.  Have a great weekend.

Bee-Keeping Beth brought in her bee-keeping equipment and her children's old bee-keeping suits for the kids to check out and wear. They learned all about how bees make honey as well as how it is collected.   They even got to taste honey from Beth's own bees! Delicious!

VINS: Sinking and Floating

 VINS: Sinking and Floating Hannah, from VINS, visited again today. This time she brought bins that we filled with water and the kids experimented with various objects to see if the object sunk or floated. Each pair of students was given two plastic lids that they were tasked with sinking. The students went from bin to bin, loaded their boats with different objects, and counted how many of each object (foam blocks, rocks, corks, washers...) caused their boat to sink. They found out that the large blue glass jewels only took two jewels to sink their boat whereas it took many more of the small multicolored jewels to do the same.  No matter how many foam blocks or corks they put on their boats, the boats continued to float.
