The Gingerbread Man 2017

Last Friday we gave each of our MWF preK students a 'gingerbread cookie' to decorate as they wish.  We had googly eyes, beads, paper scraps and much more.  Die cut shapes and markers were at each table and each student had scissor, glue and their imagination! 

A sweet garage sale find for our classroom!

Try and retell the story of the Gingerbread Man with your child's gingerbread cookie!  Next week---The Three Little Pigs

Easter Basket 2017

Each year we provide an empty basket for the children to fill with eggs. More scissors use!  Our MWF classes will estimate the number of eggs when we are all done.  Stay tuned for the 'after' picture.

The Caterpillar

The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity.

Hoe, Hoe, Hoe

It's time to get out in the yard (once everything dries out).  In our dramatic play, we have lots of props so the children are able to garden indoors.  Plastic milk caps and marker caps make good dirt.

Local nurseries are filling up with plants.  Visit your local nursery with your child and nurture a love of nature!
