Activities for Spring Break

Spring Break is a fun time when hopefully the weather is warming up, and the earth is turning green again. It can also be a fun week to spend some extra time with the family. We put together a list of some fun and simple activities to do together:

  • Make homemade playdough. Children can help with the mixing and measuring but need to be supervised near the boiling water. Add cookie cutters, twigs, pipe cleaners, cars and trucks from around the house and have fun together!
  • Go on a scavenger hunt. Bundle up if needed and create a list of things to search for... a squirrel, a red car, a pine tree. Walk around the block crossing items off your list.
  • Visit the library. Our local libraries have some great craft and story times available over break. Check out a few new books to read at home while you are there! 
  • Just play together! Some times things get so busy- laundry to do, dinner to cook, meetings to attend, we don't have enough time to just play together! Lose yourself in your child's world of imagination. You'll be glad you did!
We hope whatever your break entails- traveling, staying home, visiting friends and family, that you have a safe and fun time. We look forward to seeing everyone when school resumes on Monday April 9, 2018.

Reading Month Fun

We want to thank all of the guest readers who have read to our preschool and pre-k programs throughout the month of March. We have been delighted to hear stories from moms, dads, grandparents, and older siblings. Taking the time out of your day to read to our students really helps them see how important reading is, and how fun it can be. Thank you for reading with us! A big thank you to our classroom teachers for organizing the guest readers and sharing their love for learning.
