Preschool Thanksgiving Pics



Greetings Everyone!
We hope you all had a wonderful, and heart-warming Thanksgiving. We had an awesome month of November here at Preschool with our Healthy Me Unit, and our week of Thanksgiving fun! The preschoolers also had a chance to celebrate Veteran's Day and learn about the brave men and women who serve our country. As always, we captured some fun pics along the way...check them out:


Here are some friends celebrating Veterans Day. We read a story about a little girl's father who was deployed and had to leave the family for a while; and then we made our own soldiers out of paper:

Lydia's daddy serves in the military, so she was extra proud to make our thank you cards that we sent to a Military Unit in Bloomington, MN.


And then of course we had fun getting into the Thanksgiving Day spirit with lots of turkey crafts and activities: 










No one appreciates a good Duluth snowfall more than these guys...we sure hope we get to play in some more snow soon (...I know, I know! Be careful what you wish for!!)






Hope you enjoyed these snap shots. Now that December is upon us, we have a super fun "Christmas Around the World" unit planned. We hope to answer the big question: "Do children that live in other areas of the world celebrate Christmas the same way we do?" We sure have a lot of fun activities planned, and we also hope to dig into our own family's holiday traditions and celebrations. If you have a cool holiday tradition your family does that you would like to share with the students, please feel free to schedule a visit (ahem...lefse making anyone??!)

Happy December and keep posted for more news, updates, and fun photos!

Warmest regards,
CCP

Greetings Everyone! The preschoolers had a wonderful time celebrating Earth Day all last week. We learned all about our environment and took a closer look at some of our planet's environmental issues. Then the children went a step further by putting their knowledge to work by coming up with solutions to help solve these issues. Some solutions the children came up with were to to use less garbage at lunch time, plant seeds, reuse & recycle, and clean up litter in our own neighborhoods. It was wonderful to see the children's love for their planet come out with such enthusiasm! The children were so excited about the fact that we were able to cut our lunch-time garbage down by 90%! We hope they keep up their new found efforts. Here are some fun pictures we were able to capture this week. Enjoy! Rocco's grandparents came to visit the preschoolers for Rocco's VIP, and they brought flowers for all the children to plant:    ...they also brought in Blue Bird houses that Rocc

Creative Me Unit Pictures

Hello Preschool Families! Another month has come and gone and our Creative Me unit was a total success! Preschoolers are such natural little artists that it's no surprise that this theme was a favorite among our group. We explored many different types of art in so many creative, fun ways, I think we've inspired some young kids to be aspiring artists! As usual we captured some fun moments along the way. Check them out:  Here is a group on a field trip at the UMD Tween Museum:  A group of UMD Elementary Education Students worked with the children on some fun art packets while we toured the museum:  We learned that creativity comes not only from our feelings but also from the mind; so to help better connect our mind with body, we had Ms. Elise come in and lead some yoga sessions!: Some of the many fun art pieces to display made by the children: Doing art from a new perspective: Painting in the gym:  We had the incredible opportunity to take a field trip down to the Duluth Playhous
