Happy New Year!

The children in the Preschool classes have been very busy learning about the season of winter and making snowmen. We will also be exploring a unit on Water and Ice, and will meet some new arctic friends, the penguins and polar bears. We will also be making bird feeders for our feathered friends that live outside. We are looking forward to an exciting month filled with heart-warming activities to melt the snow. In the weeks ahead we will explore a unit on Winter Animals and discover how they adapt, hibernate or migrate throughout the coldest months. The Preschool classes will be so busy, that we will not be hibernating this winter; we have too many fun-filled days ahead. Maybe you can see our shadows in the hall as we pass by your door.
“Run, run,
as fast as you can.
You can’t catch me.
I’m the gingerbread man.”
The sounds of this classic story can be heard within the preschool classes. The preschool children are listening to different versions of this famous story and comparing characters. Our preschool classroom will be filled with the smells of gingerbread men baking. The children will also be learning about some of the holiday traditions and customs that are shared by our preschool friends. We extend a warm holiday greeting to our Valley View friends and family.
November
“Gobble, gobble, gobble” the Preschool class is beginning to prepare for Thanksgiving. We will be having a traditional Thanksgiving celebration that will include some very special people, The Pilgrims and our friends, the Native Americans. The children will also be involved in craft activities, songs and stories to help us celebrate this holiday. We wish our Valley View families and friends a very Happy Thanksgiving.
