We Went on Shape Hunt!

Preschoolers went on a shape hunt today around the classroom and the Annex! They found triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, and diamonds! Ask your preschooler which shape they found.  Try going on a shape hunt around your home too!

Fine Motor Thursday Began Yesterday!

Fine motor Thursday began yesterday! Every Thursday, we will be working on improving students’ fine motor skills, which involves doing activities that use the small muscles of the hand that enable such functions as writing, grasping small objects, and fastening clothing.  We will work on improving students’ muscle strength and coordination.  Some activities we did yesterday were: 1) sketching pumpkins (which will be on display at the Halloween parties), 2) beading, 3) rubber band stretching, and 4) painting.  Any of these activities can be done at home too for extra practice! Enjoy the pictures!

Firefighters Visit!

The firefighters came to visit! They talked about having a fire escape plan, what firefighters use during a fire, and how to stay safe when around fires!
