Greetings from CCP!! We hope everyone had a beautiful and relaxing holiday break. December was an absolute blast with the preschoolers; nothing makes prepping for the holidays more magical than doing it with little ones. We had quite the busy month--check it out!:  Candy cane science experiments: Santa's Workshop in the dramatic play: We did a fun experiment where we made jingle bells dance!: We did a small "Christmas Around the World" unit. First stop: Mexico! The kids had fun making pinatas, quesadillas and Mexican hot chocolate, and they learned how to sing "Feliz Navidad":  We also took a peek at England where we learned that's where Christmas cards originated from: And of course we had our Holiday Program. The kids were adorable as usual: And then on our last day before the break, we went Christmas caroling around the neighborhood. The children and neighbors enjoyed it alike: Happy New Year and we look forward to having everyone back at school! Sincerel...

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 c...

Greetings everyone! We have officially wrapped up our Community Helpers Unit at preschool, and boy was it a blast! We had such an awesome month learning about the community we live in and all the different types of people it takes for our community to function. We explored many different types of community helpers through literature, crafts, snacks, manipulatives and more, plus we also invited in several guests to visit the children over the course of the month. Check it out: Jemma's mom, Annie is a stylist at Fitgers Salon & Spa. She taught the kids all about hair care and how to keep our hair healthy. She showed the kids her many awesome tools that she gets to use, plus she even demonstrated how she gives a haircut on Jemma! The kids absolutely loved her, and Jemma was so proud to show off her mom!: Cora's uncle, Officer Kerfeld, paid us a visit and taught the kids about safety, about the law, how he helps to protect us, and about some of his duties as a police officer.
