AAARRRRR you ready to read.... GREAT BOOKS?

Children & adults enjoyed the Preschool Pirate theme! We read Shiver Me Letters: a pirate ABC by June Sobel, we did the Pirate Pokey, went on a TREASURE hunt and found two treasure chests (lucky for us we found READ tattoos)! Adults helped assemble our pirate swords and of course, we had to make a pirate hat! Everyone left as a PIRATE!

OUT OF THE SUN & INTO THE SAND!

Two separate programs with the same result.... SAND ART! Children chose from a variety of images, then they peeled the sticker, and colored with sand! Children enjoyed playing with sand out of the SUN!

Watercolor Creations

Last week, children in grades 4 - 7, made bookmarks.

After observing and following Ms. Sharon's direction and techniques, children created beautiful watercolor scenes.

Preschool Penguins

This week we had a Penguin theme. First, we shared stories: Sergio Makes a Splash by Edel Rodriguez & If you were a Penguin by Wendell Minor. Then we learned a new Penguin rhyme, which goes like this: 1 baby penguin makes a wish, 2 baby penguins catch a fish, 3 baby penguins slip and slide, 4 baby penguins run and hide, 5 baby penguins look around calling, " Mama, Mama, Mama!" Now they are found! Finally, we went home with our very own Penguin Pal!
