How Does Your Garden Grow?

What does a plant look like? What does it need to grow? We learned about the parts of a plant, the plant life cycle and the difference between fruits and vegetables during a visit from the Cincinnati Museum Center. We rolled up our sleeves and spent some time digging in the dirt and planted our own seed to take home to add to our growing garden!

Lorax, Lorax what do you see?

On Tuesday the K Prep students continued their Dr. Seuss study with another popular book, The Lorax. We learned how important it is to take care of OUR earth and some simple ways to help keep it healthy. We started by planting a green bean seed and learned how to take care of it so it grows healthy and strong.

The children have been working so hard throughout this year to create a variety of masterpieces using different mediums. We are looking forward to sharing them all with you on March 9th! The “Art Gallery” will be open from 5:30-7:00, come and enjoy all the children works anytime!  As a reminder, there are no classes that day in order to give the teachers time to prepare for the annual event.

Ms. Joanie introduced the students to the percussion family in music this week and brought her set of desktop bells to share with us. The children had the opportunity to compose their own original piece and share it with the class!

After an amazing performance by our little musicians, we celebrated the special day with family, friends, cupcakes and more.

The K prep students have been working hard on TWO books this past week and during our short week this week. Our sight word focus has been on the words am & at. This is a precursor to our introduction to word families which begins when we return from Thanksgiving Break. We interacted with the sight words in a variety of ways and have been enjoying our time buddy reading the books we have mastered.
