The Fire Station

Children are always fascinated with fire trucks.  Salem City Fire Station gave us a royal tour of all their emergency vehicles and the service that each vehicle provides. They also taught the children about fire safety.  Thank you!

Nature

We love going outside and collecting things from nature to use in our art projects.  We first made Nature Men out of leaves, acorns, pine cones, sunflowers, milkweed, etc..  Then we made Owls out of larger pine cones, acorns and colored feathers.

The Red Barn

The Red Barn is always a favorite place to visit every year.  There is something fun for everyone; from picking pumpkins, playing in the sand pile, pedaling tractors to going down the big slides no matter how old you are.

M & M Math

A great math activity is M & M Math.  It is a fun traditional activity that our preschool does.
The M & M's are sorted by color, graphed, counted and recorded.   Not only are great math concepts taught but a great reward to eat when you are done.

Gingerbread Men

Recently, we had a parent visit our preschool. She made Gingerbread Men for the children to decorate.  This was a fun and yummy activity.  We love our Mother Helpers!  Thank you!

Turkey Talk

The month of November was filled with art and creative writing about turkeys.  First off, we used coffee filters, markers and a little spritzing of water to make turkeys that we hung on the windows so the light could shine through.

Second, we talked about the Letter C.  Turkeys love to eat corn.  Since corn starts with the Letter C we painted the Letter C on the easel and made a turkey out of the same letter.
Finally, we wrote stories about turkeys.   Thanksgiving is a hard holiday for turkeys, so we wrote about it.  Enjoy!

Halloween Party

Our Halloween Party was visited by some special visitors that told us stories, danced a jig, played games and made witch's brew.
