Field Trip

The PreK classes took a field trip to Sullifarm to celebrate the ending of our pet study. The children were able to experience pets up close and personal. They were able to hold puppies and chickens, feed the cows, and look at the pigs. A special thank you to AnneMarie Sullivan for bringing this pet study to life for us.

Roads Study

Why investigate roads? Roads are all around us. Roads take us to school, to the store, and to visit family and friends. In the classroom, roads become a key feature in the block area.

A study of roads provides children with an opportunity to learn how roads are made, where roads take us, how we can stay safe on the road, and the features that make up a road.

In this study, children will explore different types of roads. They will investigate the features of roads, how roads help us, how roads are made and repaired, how we can make a road, and how to be safe on the road.

We added gravel, rocks and all kinds of truck to our sensory bin!

Our block center has cones, race car and train tracks, hard hats, and a construction worker uniform.

Show and Tell

The children had to bring an item that began with the letter R. Show and tell teaches children that conversations involve back and forth exchanges. Children are also learning the social rules of communicating. This involves being polite, speaking so the listener understands, and turn-taking. We had a robot, rocket, Rapunzel hair, remote, a recruiter from the Marine Corp, reindeer, rainbow pillow, razorback, and a box of raisins. They all did a very good job as you can tell by the smiles on their faces.
