It was a fun and busy week in preschool! ☘️
They celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a very sneaky leprechaun who hid puzzle pieces, left green glitter all around, and kept us on our toes! The preschoolers came up with creative plans to catch him—building traps with magnatiles, designing rainbows for pots of gold, and even making rainbow treats with Skittles!
Our friends also did an amazing job with their Reading Rainbow—everyone moved up at least one color, and some even moved up more! One friend even completed their entire rainbow and knows all their letters and sounds—way to go!
They talked about the power of the word “yet” and how it helps them keep trying when things feel hard. They also practiced taking turns and playing together with a new board game, learned about cylinders with a scavenger hunt, enjoyed extra recess, and even had three friends learn how to pump on the swings!
So proud of all their hard work and growth this week! 🌈
