Knowledge of positions is essential as children communicate in the classroom and in the real world. Young children are in a period of rapid language growth and knowledge of positional words such as above, below, inside, outside, right, and left enhances their ability to follow and give directions and to use language precisely. We practiced these language skills today using our fun tunnel! We climbed in, crawled through and came out! Simple, playful, fun activities can be wonderful learning opportunities!

They told us when they were in the tunnel and told us when they came out…Learning is so fun!

September 15th (ish) is International Dot Day!
This story by Peter H Reynolds tells us to make are mark, and Friday in the Preschool…we DID!!!

Make your mark…and see where it takes you!!! -Peter H. Reynolds

The Museum Center came to teach us all about Africa, Australia, and Antarctica! We learned about the different continents, their habitats and animals. There were lots of fun interactive learning activities, ask your pre-Ker what was their favorite part!

Today the preschoolers had a very exciting day with a special visitor and celebration. We learned about the act of storytelling and listened to Dancing Moon and her helper, Bright Rainbow, share a story with a very valuable lesson.

The preschoolers enjoyed peeking into the lives of Native American children. We learned all about the importance of corn. The children husked and enjoyed corn on the cob just like Native Americans daily meals. Ask your preschooler the Native American word for corn!

Another chore for Native American children was popping kernels off the ear of corn to grind it into cornmeal for eating and storing.

The preschoolers explored beautiful Native American jewelry and artifacts. Then they got the chance to create their very own necklace with feathers and beads.

Arrowheads, spears, and bow and arrows were big hits this morning. The children loved learning about Native American weapons and materials they used to hunt and feed their families.

We ended our special day with our Painted Pony project. We looked at pictures of Native American celebrations with horses painted with beautiful designs and images. Ask your little one how they painted their pony!
