Pet Study

In the month of September, students will study all things pets. We will explore the different types of pets, what pets need, how pets make us feel, and the kinds of jobs that involve working with pets. As we study pets, we will learn concepts and skills in the areas of literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, the arts, and technology. We will also develop thinking skills as we observe, investigate, ask questions, solve problems, make predictions, and test our ideas.

Piggy Bagels

A big thank you to Sonny and Mrs. Jessica for providing the fun pet-themed snacks this week! We kicked off our Pet Study with 'Piggy Bagels,' and the kids absolutely loved them!

Gross Motor Play in P.E.

This week the Pre-K students worked on their gross motor skills with Coach Nichole in P.E. by riding scooters. Riding a scooter helps build balance, coordination, and strength in your legs and core. Children learn to balance, push off with their legs, and steer all while enhancing body control and endurance.

Scissor Skills

Learning to cut with scissors is an important developmental milestone. As children practice cutting, they strengthen the muscles in their hands, improve hand-eye coordination, and build bilateral coordination - the ability to use both sides of the body together. Cutting activities also help children develop focus and attention to tasks, all while building confidence in their fine motor skills.

Learning with Puzzles

Puzzles are more than just fun - they are an excellent way for children to learn and grow. As children work with puzzles, they strengthen their fine motor skills, develop perseverance, and practice problem-solving. Puzzles also support memory, encourage planning, and give children the opportunity to test out new ideas in a hands-on way.
