New Schedule

We will be starting a new schedule in the afternoon. While some of our students are napping the other students from both preschool classsrooms joined together and played. Starting on Monday the nappers will be in the green room and we will be dividing the students into groups in the red room. These groups will travel to different planned stations that we have prepared for them. We have named the stations to help identify the area where the children will move to and we will change that as we change our theme in the classroom. We will be start with these stations:

• The polar bears will be meeting in the play area.


• The barn owls will be meeting at the large table where we will play with a variety of mediums over the week such as play-doh, shaving cream and clean mud.


• The hares will be working on the computer for half of the time and the other half they will have a variety of art experiences such as free art, watercolor and stamping.


• The penguins will be meeting in the circle area for a variety of stories, fingerplays and songs throughout the week. This is an area that we are using to prepare our students that will be attending kindergarten next year.

We are excited about our new adventure!

We made clean mud this week and the children had a fun time mixing up the ingredients, tearing the toilet tissue and grating the ivory soap! Here's the recipe in case you wanted to try it at home.

4 bars of Ivory soap

6 rolls of toilet tissue

4 cups of water.

Grate the 4 bars of soap in a bowl. Tear up the toilet tissue and add it to the soap. Add 4 cups of water and mix with your hands until it's smooth. You can store it in a plastic container or a plastic bag and it will stay good for a long time. Enjoy and have fun with it!
