Magic of Learning

Last day art show and performances! The kids were so proud and so very supported. I’m ever grateful that this is my job. ♥️

Summer camps are filling up fast! I have one special camp for older kids who said goodbye to preschool years ago. This one’s good fun with a variety of media types.

The rain stayed away for our farm field trip! It was still chilly, but we enjoyed looking at the animals and learning new things about them.

I love when we talk about environmental print. Even more awesome is when the kids try copying the words on the chalkboard. It’s a fun way to practice writing skills, but it also works their shoulders, wrists, and arms, making it good for large motor skills too. And, if that isn’t enough, it also helps with better grip on the writing utensil. The kids just care that they are writing cool things, but the teacher eye sees so much more is going on.

Just a little work on those 10 frame skills.

From a tree covered in dress ups to a savannah full of animals to detective placing trackers all over the room an so many things in between, this is preschool. This is childhood being childhood full of art, imagination, creativity, friendship, discovery, learning, and play.

The blossoming trees are here so early in SLC. We opted to go outside for part one of our art project. The kids looked at the trees as they drew them. 🪾Part two was inside where they glued and panted on leaves and blossoms. 🌸

“That feels so good. It is cold and squishy.”

A rainbow classic from the archives. 🌈 It’s always a hit.
