Teaching Preschool Is Hard Work

Working hard for something you don't care about is called stress.  Working hard for something you love is called passion.

MCP Happy Feet

We spent most of yesterday prepping our 'new' room. We are not quite finished but are thoroughly enjoy the work! We are so looking forward to students and parents seeing the room.  The room has a fresh, clean and crisp look and now we need kids!

Our Happy Feet fundraising will continue this year.  Our next project will be updating the office area. Want to donate?

My BFFs

Today is one of two days that celebrate our best friends.  Best Friends Day is celebrated on June 8th and August 15th. (Why? That I can't answer but maybe Google can.)  It is often said that there are three types of friends in this life---friends for a reason, friends for a season and friends for a lifetime.  My childhood neighborhood was filled with children.  These two girls were my BFFs.  My friendship with girl on the right faded as we entered high school and developed different interests.  The blondie on the left?  A lifetime friend!  A lifetime friend is like a diamond---precious and rare.

There are many symbols for friendship:

The jade plant, pineapple, yellow rose are symbols of friendship.The Irish Claddagh is probably one of the most recognized symbols of love and friendship.  Animals?  The dolphin, turtle and frog are symbolic of strong friendships.  Enjoy your friends today!

Cool and Creative Caps

At MCP, we love plastic caps.  We sort, count and create patterns.  We use caps for art projects and just open ended play. How do you play with plastic caps?  Here's how...
