While learning about community helpers, we have had fun making stop signs in each age group. The 2's learn about the color red and letter recognition, and the Kindergartners worked on more advanced skills while working on stop signs. What a great way to learn concepts through play!

Community Helpers Projects
We have had so much fun this month talking about our Community Helpers. We have had visits from the firemen, the sheriff, and the doctor. We have learned about many of the other community helpers as well; the mailman, the dentist, bakers and more! While doing many of the fun crafts the kids have also been learning about letters, numbers, and colors. Here are some of the fun crafts we have made!

Peanut Returns to Nature
Hopefully you have had a chance to come meet our squirrel, Peanut. After falling out of a tree when he was days old, he has been raised to become a healthy, happy squirrel. He is now ready to go back to nature. Today we are bringing him to a local nature preserve where he can learn squirrel ways and be set free!

Children Learn through play
This says it all! We believe that children learn through hands on, fun experiences.
This poster encompasses why we teach the way we do!
