Preschool News Winter 2022

Tamara Sevigny • January 21, 2022

We are finishing up our studies of the continent of Asia. We looked at the animals, flags and foods associated with Asia. One of our parents celebrated and shared the Japanese New years traditions with us. We learned about Hanukkah and Christmas and the children made homemade latkes, they grated potatoes, beat eggs and mixed it all up to make delicious Latkes. They were flipping holiday pancakes and decorating them. We had fun learning about what animals do in winter, if they migrate, adapt or hibernate.

Looking forward we will move our focus to the continent of Europe starting in February. The children will also be learning about constellations, astronomy. In life science we will look at teeth and the heart. The children are very fortunate to have Ms. Edie come in to do lucky listeners weekly. The children are really enjoying their daily food preparation in the Oak room. Exploration of new food items are added monthly. The children are partaking in enrichment with music, sign language for everyone and art, circus yoga for the older children.
