LET'S GO CAMPING!

The preschool and pre-kindergarten classes have transformed their rooms

to become a camp site this week. They have done some creative camping activities

in their classrooms and outside. One of our families brought their 1981 VW  camper

van to the school for the children to explore. The  children looked at the beds,

stove, refrigerator, and table inside. Then they walked around the outside

of the van to see any differences from what their cars look like compared

to the camper. It was great fun!

 

Thank you for letting us see this cool VW camper!

 

 

Muffins for Mom

MUFFINS FOR MOM

Our Mother's Day Celebration started off in

the morning with lots of hugs and smiles.

Moms came in to enjoy muffins and juice with  their children.

As you can see in the pictures nothing is better then being with mom to start the day.

The Snowy Day

Everyone was excited to play in the snow this week!

A New Tree!

Thank you to our friends at Leave No Child Inside for their generous donation of a new tree for our play yard.  We are looking forward to all of the shade we will get from this tree in a few months.  Thank you, LNCI!

Cincinnati Museum Center -- Stuffee, the anatomy doll

Earlier this week we enjoyed a visit from the Cincinnati Museum Center. They brought "Stuffee," an anatomy doll, to help teach the children about how the body works.

The kids were able to put "food" in Stuffee's mouth and feed him! Then they unzipped him to see where the food goes and talked about how healthy food helps our bodies.  Stuffee's organs were removed from his body and the children learned all about what the organs are and what they do.  Very neat!
