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

Greetings Preschool Families! What a great Outer Space Unit we just wrapped up! This is always one of my favorite units that we do and it is one that could stretch over many weeks or months! The children always love learning about what is most familiar to them -- the sky that they see from their own windows and back yards. Throughout the month, we became astronauts and journeyed further into space and were able to learn  about what is going on in that "final frontier". In addition to various developmental objectives, during this unit we learned about some environmental components of the Earth and Space, weather and seasons, and the sky through various types of literature, math activities, art projects, and of course play. We were able to snap some cute photos along the way...check them out!!
