It’s been a busy and exciting two weeks in preschool!
Did you know that creating art helps young children strengthen the same small muscles in their hands that they use for writing, buttoning clothes, and other everyday tasks? Art also encourages creativity, problem solving, self expression, and confidence as children learn to turn their ideas into something unique and meaningful!
In art, we learned about two more famous artists: Henri Matisse and Claude Monet. Students explored their unique artistic styles and created beautiful masterpieces inspired by each artist. We loved seeing their creativity shine through as they experimented with color, shape, and texture.
In science, we celebrated a huge milestone as 17 chicks successfully hatched during our incubation project! The classroom was filled with excitement, curiosity, and plenty of adorable chirping as students observed the chicks emerge and begin exploring their new world. This hands on experience gave children a firsthand look at the life cycle of a chicken and sparked wonderful conversations about growth and caring for living things.
Music time brought something new and exciting as we introduced floor drumming! Students had a blast keeping rhythms, following beats, and working together to create music. It was a huge hit and a wonderful way to build listening skills, coordination, and teamwork.
Our dramatic play area was transformed into a Farmers Market, where students have been busy pretending to grow, harvest, buy, and sell produce. Through imaginative play, they are developing social skills, communication, early math concepts, and an understanding of community roles. We can't wait to share what's next! Stay tuned for our June guest speaker, who will help bring our Farmers Market theme to life!
