Exploring Reggio Emilia Learning Labs at TerraNichol Academy of the Arts
Students have been thrilled with the story Creepy Crawly Calypso. Set to the tune of catchy Calypso music the story takes you on a journey of Calypso instruments played by-- you guest it Spiders, Centipedes, and Butterflies to name a few. Students are intrigued by the steel drums, guitars, accordions, congas, trumpet, trombone, flutes, and marimba! In music appreciation we have been playing our own Calypso style music as well! This book made us add a new instrument to our wish list! A STEEL DRUM!!!
Under the Sea is the place for me. Reading I'm a Manatee has set the backdrop for learning about sea animals, and the ocean habitat with many explorations in water, and sensory play! Students have also become intrigued with scuba diving and the gear that would be needed to take such a deep plunge!
Freshly picked tomatoes from our school garden where a hit this week for a tasty tasting! Students couldn't get enough!
We are excited to see what next week has in store for us!

Help Us keep a clean healthy learning environment.
Please do not allow students to play in Nido Nest before learning lab time 9am. When the students come and materials are out of place it can be confusing at cleaning up time as to wear materials belong. Nido Nest friends are working towards clean up skills.
Please do not allow sick siblings to have contact with learning labs materials as it spreads germs.
Dismissal-The learning labs are closed for the day, cleaned, organized and sanitized by the teachers. Please respect their hard work, time and dismissal for the teachers to leave on time to get to their families in the evening.
Again, thank you!

Gardening with Preschoolers
The beauty of gardening in a preschool program is that you can involve children every step of the way. We have had quite the harvest this school year and many great tasting sessions.
The whole process of gardening, easily woven into the fabric of a preschool day, is an extended sensory and learning process which could start with researching the right plants to grow, preparing the soil, digging and planting, watering, weeding and observing the plants growing and flowering.
Happy Gardening!!
