What We're Doing In Stoy PreK
2016 - Off To A Great Start!
We jumped right back into school, with units of study on Snow and Polar Animals! The children really enjoyed all the fabulous snow and snow animal books we read, and used many different art supplies to make an assortment of projects!
Our art response to "The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats.
Shaving cream and glue make great snow paint!
A favorite book!

Coming Up ...
