We had a great morning at Blueberry Hill Preserve with Chloe from Islesboro Islands Trust! 🫐

Our students enjoyed exploring the preserve, picking fresh blueberries, and learning about the plants and natural surroundings that make this special place such a wonderful resource on Islesboro. It was a beautiful morning to get outside, ask questions, and connect with nature.

Thank you to Chloe and Islesboro Islands Trust for welcoming us to Blueberry Hill and sharing this experience with our students.

🐝 Week 4: Bug Week at Islesboro Preschool! 🐞

Bug Week is buzzing along, and we’ve been having so much fun exploring the incredible world of insects! This week featured a very special visit from a local beekeeper, who shared fascinating facts about bees and the important work they do.

Today, our young artists painted their own beehives and worked together to create a beautiful community art piece inspired by everything we’ve been learning. Watching the children collaborate, create, and connect their new knowledge through art has been such a joy.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of Bug Week has in store! 🐝💛🌼

We’re wrapping up Week 3 of our IPS Summer Program, and what a fun week it has been!

This week’s theme was Water Week, and our days were filled with bubbles, splash pad fun, ocean-themed sensory bins, water exploration, and plenty of opportunities to cool off while learning through play.

We were also excited to welcome two of our wonderful monthly community visitors. Miss Chloe from the Islesboro Island Trust joined us to share stories and hands-on nature experiences, and Miss Melissa from the Alice Pendleton Library brought another engaging story time that our students always look forward to.

We wrapped up our first week of Summer Program 2026, and what a wonderful week it was!

Our “Welcome to Summer” theme gave us the opportunity to reconnect after time apart, build friendships, and learn more about one another through creative projects, sensory play, outdoor adventures, and lots of laughter. One of the highlights of the week was digging for gems, which the children absolutely loved!

Thank you for an amazing first week! We are excited to keep the fun going as we head into our next theme: 4th of July Week! 🇺🇸 Next week we’ll be exploring all things red, white, and blue with festive activities, art projects, games, and summer fun.

🕷️ Spider Exploration Station 🕷️

If you've been around the preschool lately, you've probably noticed that we've been finding lots of large spiders around our playground and outdoor spaces! The children have been especially fascinated by these upland spiders, so we've decided to make spiders the focus of this week's Exploration Station.

Throughout the week, we'll be observing spiders, learning about their body parts, exploring how they spin webs, reading spider-themed books, and discovering the important role spiders play in our environment. The children's curiosity has sparked some wonderful conversations, and we can't wait to see what new discoveries they make!

Group work in a preschool setting provides children with valuable opportunities to learn and grow alongside their peers.

Through collaborative activities, children develop important social skills such as communication, cooperation, sharing, and problem-solving. Working in small groups also encourages children to listen to different perspectives, build friendships, and practice taking turns.

These experiences help foster confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging within the classroom community while supporting cognitive, language, and emotional development in a meaningful and engaging way.

Take a peek at some group work our little learners have done this past week!
