PEEK AT OUR WEEK

Which comes first? The chicken or the egg? Our Pre-K class has 14 eggs in an incubator, and now we wait 21 days. Learning about life cycles is an important way to develop children's understanding of the world and helps them understand and deal with weighty concepts such as life, death, and birth.

In science this week we put food coloring in vases with water, and added white carnations. In 24 hours we had red and blue flowers. The children thought this was pretty cool!

Tearing paper may seem like child's play, but it is a vital fine-motor skills that lays the foundation for numerous activities throughout life. As children master this seemingly simple task, they are honing their grip strength, hand-eye coordination, bilateral coordination, and precision.
