October is Fire Safety Month
PreK News
The pre-k students have been very busy at school. We are learning many skills through developmentally appropriate play activities. Some of the things we have been doing include: hunting for letters like a detective with our magnifying glass (see picture below), counting to 10, counting sets of objects, cutting, drawing a person with all the body parts, dressing the babies, cooking in the kitchen, setting the table, marching, clapping on the strong beat, building houses and garages with blocks, and putting our coats on and off independently.
We have had some special activities too!The firefighters came to visit our classroom and taught us about fire safety. We practiced how to stop, drop and roll. We also got to see the inside of the ambulance. The firefighters are our friends and have a very important job. We recently visited the pumpkin patch across the street from CES (Charbonneau's). They taught us about the different kinds of pumpkins, squash and gourds. We got to see the pumpkin patch with pumpkins that were still green and on the vine and some that were broken open. They provided some pumpkin games to play. Ring toss on the pumpkin stem and toss the footballs in the tub were our favorites. We each got to pick out a pumpkin to take home. WE love fall and everything about it!
Panther Pride Night
THANK YOU to all the families who attended Panther Pride Night. A fun, educational time was had by all. Thank you to the different community partners who came to share resources and information as well as our Kitchen Staff for preparing and serving our meal.
Kindergarten Field Trip to Depot
October is a busy and exciting month! Kindergarten students got to experience their first field trip! This year, the kindergarten classes visited the Courtland Depot and Belleville Park. The students were overjoyed to ride the bus with all of their friends to go on this adventure. “ Are we there yet?”
First, the students traveled to the Courtland Depot to learn about pumpkins and apples. Students were divided into groups for various activities including a hay bale maze, apple slushy station, an informational pumpkin station, and a demonstration on how to make apple cider with a real apple cider press! Students sampled the apple cider after crushing the apples themselves! Yum! Students also got to choose their very own pumpkin to take home!
Next, the students arrived at the Belleville park for lunch followed by play time! Students enjoyed getting to play on a different playground in a different town with friends. The day was long and exciting. Fun was had by all!
