Our First Day!

We had an eventful first day at preschool!  We took a tour of our classroom to learn about all of our exciting centers.  And then we got to play!





Then we got to play outside!



When we came back inside we took a picture walk through Where the Wild Things Are and practiced warming up our singing voices to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed."

We had a lot of fun and are looking forward to an exciting year!

It was a Fancy Last Day!

Today our day was all about Fancy Nancy.  We got to read the book twice, learn fancy words and play dress up.

Ms. Perkowski brought in some accessories from home and we used some accessories from dramatic play to make our ordinary outfits super fancy.

Then we got to go upstairs to have a fancy tea party with iced tea, cucumber sandwiches and shortbread cookies.

Our day was stupendous, which is a fancy word for great, and our outfits were posh, which is a fancy word for fancy!  To see all of the photos from our day, click here.

Summer Fun Day

Today we had our summer fun day outside in the parking lot! 

We started by building with the blue blocks and balancing on the boards and the stilt walkers.

 Then we went through an obstacle course that involved climbing through hula hoops, balancing on blocks, jumping over hurdles and crawling through a tunnel.

Lastly we got to spend time jumping in a bounce house and going through an obstacle course inside.

A big thank you to the office staff for putting the event together!

Meet the Author

Today we had a very special treat, we were able to meet the author of a fantastic book series called Commander Josh! 

 Author Donna LeBlanc came to our school to read to the students and do some imagination activities because that's what  her books are all about; exploring the imagination of kids! We were even fortunate enough that Miss Donna gave each classroom a signed copy of her book Commander Josh In Space and each student was able to take home a Commander Josh bookmark.

Miss Donna, seen below with our Thank You card, didn't think we would know who she was and was very surprised when Henrik told her she was the author and the title of the book was Commander Josh. We've got some smart kids in this class!

Miss Donna did a rhyming activity with the students, something she also does within her books. "Today I see, through the leaves of the tree, a tiny little bumble bee, coming to... my house!" The kids quickly told her that didn't rhyme and we all figured out the ending, coming to see me.

We had fun using our imagination to build a snowman with Miss Donna and catch snow on our tongues.

A BIG thank you to Donna LeBlanc for taking the time to come see us and giving us a great book to read!
