Hello Preschool Families!
This week we welcomed home 20 new friends, with dimpled hands, twinkling eyes and warm smiles, we promise, the smiles were had after mommy and daddy left!
They say “Home is where the heart is“, and we hope that this new environment quickly feels like warm, safe, and welcoming to both your child and yourselves.
We started the week with the story “Our Class is a Family” by Sandra Olsen. A beautiful reminder to our newest and youngest little learners, that this is a safe place to be themselves, to make mistakes, the importance of being kind to your peers, and while your family at home are the most important people in the world, your family at school will be here to guide you, help you learn and most importantly love you, just the way you are! We asked the children to look around the room and tell us if they noticed anything that reminded them of home, here were wha a few of them said:
Levi – “Tables”
Archie- “Lamps”
Evelyn – “Toys”
Benjamin – “Books”
Lily – “Rugs”
Clara – “Kitchen”
Avery-“My Backpack”
Lincoln – “Lights”
This week was all about settling in and becoming comfortable. The children explored every inch of their new home, beginning in their very own classroom. The kiddos navigated centers, everywhere from sand table to art center, as they swooped and swished their paint brushes, and sometimes their hands across the vibrant paint pallets. As they discovered what their interests were, they began to find friends with the same interests as them! Miss Dena joined us for music as we all learned each others name with the catchy “Name Song”. Just in case you were wondering …. Everybody’s gotta name and they are excited to shout it loud and proud! Gym with Mrs. Dodd was a hit as always. The children mimicked animals as they exuberantly sprinted across the gymnasium and then using scoops to have a catch, or in some instances they were used as hats! Lastly, we visited the classroom favorite… the playground of course! Squeals of delight and fits of giggles could be heard as they took on the “big slide” or swung high into the sky on the swings, others congregated on the merry-go-round, taking turns pushing one another.
We are so excited to learn and grow alongside your children this year, we cannot thank you enough for trusting us and allowing us to foster their love of learning through their journey of school. Welcome Home Kiddos!
Enjoy the sunshine that is your children this weekend!
Miss Arden, Miss Meredith and Miss Airry
