Stop Sign Fun

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!

Welcome to our new Blog!  
We will be updating you with all of the fun things our school is up to!  We have a creative learning environment full of great ideas we would like to share.  Keep checking back to see what we're up to now!  
This month is our Community Helpers theme.  We have already had the Firetruck and Sheriff visit.  This week we will be having the doctor come for a visit! Our creative teachers have come up with numerous fun crafts to help the kids learn their abc's and 123's.  More posts to come soon!!
