Lemon Tree Preschool

The kids decided they wanted an afternoon quick art session. They wanted to do as much art as possible until they did not want to anymore…so…that’s what we did! Painting with brushes and combs, hand painting, permanent marker and watercolors, and mini floral collages. Not pictured is the giant spin art we started with. They had so much fun and were so proud of each of their creations (as am I!).

Here at LTP, new friends are automatically welcomed into our bunch of littles. They’re immediately part of our family and every single one of our kids are so excited. Today, some of our friends went out to explore at a local park after visiting a very fun story time.

Practicing our fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination with our playdough today.

We took a field trip to the Folsom Zoo & Sanctuary today. The littles loved seeing all the animals! We talked about the bees that were happily buzzing around the blooming flowers and the boxes they had nearby for them to make honey. We also enjoyed an exciting train ride before heading back to school. What a fun day!

We went to the Sacramento Children’s Museum today. Needless to say the kids had a blast! What a fun place to play and explore.

We had a field trip to the Nimbus Fish Hatchery today. The kids absolutely loved seeing the Rainbow Trout in the hatchery! They were able to feed them and we discussed what happens when they grow larger and what kind of food they might eat in the wild. What a fun day!

Truck painting this morning. The kids loved seeing the different patterns the tires made in the paint.

What do you do when it’s been raining for what seems like 30 years? Go play in it of course! Luckily we had a chance to get out and enjoy the rain before the winds got too crazy.

Bev Bos was a local early childhood educator who changed the ideas of how children should be allowed to play and explore for people all around the world. There is even a park in Roseville dedicated to her honor and life’s work. She and countless other women have been so instrumental in helping to better understand early childhood education. Happy International Women’s Day.

We went to the Natural History Museum at Sierra College today. They have so many amazing things to see - rocks, fossils, skeletons, nests, etc. The kids loved looking at and talking about everything they saw. They can’t wait to go back!

What do you do when a new book display arrives in a large box? Turn it into a tv, of course!

We are learning about our bodies, what doctors do and how important they are. Everyone has been showing so much continued interest in our doctor and dentist play that now our Science area has joined in!
