Our preschool year is winding down and many of our preschoolers will be off to kindergarten in the fall.<br /> <br />We thank you for entrusting your child to us this year. We have enjoyed working with all of the children in our care and have seen growth, development and skill acquisition in all of our preschoolers. <br /> <br /><br />We have also witnessed how the children have grown in the way they deal with frustration and the care and concern they express for one another. Our preschoolers have made lifelong friends and connections with one another. We are really impressed with the extended attention spans of these little ones. Our circle times and instructional activities have really expanded as the kids are able to sit longer and listen. Hoorah for preschoolers!!! Please make note of the special events coming up. The end of the preschool year is special, whether it means coming to the end-of-year celebration or attending graduation.Mrs Hornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17779947783674310742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021495070275783950.post-66292103167302295712010-05-01T17:29:00.000-07:002010-05-08T17:31:11.922-07:00In My GardenThis month your child will be participating in a variety of fun and educational activities and experiences as they learn all about gardens.<br /><br />We will be digging in the dirt, planting seeds, celebrating National Bird Day & Kite day, making bird feeders, discussing Cinco De Mayo, making Mother’s Day Gifts, digging for worms, making bean gardens, observing the life cycle of a butterfly, and much more.<br /><br />Please note the calendar concerning preschool graduation, end of the year celebration for 3’s, garden service day, and our last day of school. <br /><br />Our 4’s classes will be visiting the Kindergarten classrooms on Wednesday, May 19th.

Where did the milk come from? This month the preschoolers will learn the answer to this question and much more about life on a farm. We have a lot planned for the kids this month including a field trip to a local farm. The kids will participate in many “farm themed” educational based activities in the classroom. We will finish out the year with a market set up in our dramatic play area. The train center has been converted into a farm center. Dr. Miller (local dentist) has donated a large wooden barn with animals to our preschool.<br /><br /> This month the preschoolers will also make their own butter, have fun with western week, celebrate Earth Day, Easter Egg Hunt, and participate in National Library Day. Don’t be surprised if they come home chanting:<br /> “Click-Clack Moo, Clickity-Clack Moo”.<br /><br /> We are also looking forward to one of our favorite books, “The Three Little Pigs”. Preschoolers love acting this one out. <br /><br />Happy Farming!Mrs Hornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17779947783674310742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021495070275783950.post-8226515378020638172010-02-08T22:24:00.000-08:002010-05-08T22:31:08.300-07:00Penguin Parade & Igloos<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIhqvy6ZI/AAAAAAAAAcM/l5kLyt7BVMQ/s1600/March+2010+003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIhqvy6ZI/AAAAAAAAAcM/l5kLyt7BVMQ/s320/March+2010+003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469138540735687058" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIhBVhwiI/AAAAAAAAAcE/-7tNidaWi0U/s1600/March+2010+026.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIhBVhwiI/AAAAAAAAAcE/-7tNidaWi0U/s320/March+2010+026.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469138529619657250" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIg2yDZ1I/AAAAAAAAAb8/uSOz0iUQ658/s1600/March+2010+030.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIg2yDZ1I/AAAAAAAAAb8/uSOz0iUQ658/s320/March+2010+030.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469138526786512722" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIgfK9iFI/AAAAAAAAAb0/urpKPdTgqs4/s1600/March+2010+019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIgfK9iFI/AAAAAAAAAb0/urpKPdTgqs4/s320/March+2010+019.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469138520448534610" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIf-bikQI/AAAAAAAAAbs/SS4eR5I9-iA/s1600/March+2010+010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S-ZIf-bikQI/AAAAAAAAAbs/SS4eR5I9-iA/s320/March+2010+010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469138511659700482" /></a>Mrs Hornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17779947783674310742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021495070275783950.post-23217710500071393152010-01-13T16:35:00.000-08:002010-05-08T21:27:32.680-07:00Welcome 2010<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S05oi4YE3hI/AAAAAAAAAZE/IZLvg8PvD1w/s1600-h/emperor_penguin_ralf_ste_01.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 144px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/S05oi4YE3hI/AAAAAAAAAZE/IZLvg8PvD1w/s200/emperor_penguin_ralf_ste_01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426389549486235154" /></a><br /><br />Happy New Year!

This was a popular spot for our preschoolers. <br />We would like to develop a grocery store of our own at preschool. We already have a play cash register, two shopping carts, and a few food items. We need your help in creating our pretend grocery items. Please save your empty cans, boxes, jars, etc...leaving the labels in place. We will use packing tape to reseal the containers to stock our grocery store. <br /><br />I have included a picture above that will give you an idea of what we need to collect.Mrs Hornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17779947783674310742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021495070275783950.post-269320941390417212009-03-01T11:33:00.000-08:002009-05-04T11:49:53.052-07:00Love Our Pets<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/Sf84r6OH_-I/AAAAAAAAAH4/HM323fgeI20/s1600-h/DSC00016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/Sf84r6OH_-I/AAAAAAAAAH4/HM323fgeI20/s320/DSC00016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332042810843987938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/Sf84r0zpcYI/AAAAAAAAAHw/EZT5T1tDfEA/s1600-h/DSC00019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/Sf84r0zpcYI/AAAAAAAAAHw/EZT5T1tDfEA/s320/DSC00019.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332042809390756226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/Sf84rkFJvoI/AAAAAAAAAHo/mRnGawB1t-k/s1600-h/DSC00015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xqBLnMz1HNU/Sf84rkFJvoI/AAAAAAAAAHo/mRnGawB1t-k/s320/DSC00015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332042804900773506" /></a><br />We had a blast in February learning all about pet care. The preschoolers enjoyed taking care of our guinea pigs. <br /><br />The kids made their very own Vet Hospital in our dramatic play area. This was a popular place to play. <br /><br />Dr. Tresa Apke came from the Carlton Vet Hospital. We dressed up like veterinarians and worked on stuffed animals. She taught us basic pet and brought her own dog in. The kids really enjoyed using the stethoscope and other special doctor tools.<br /><br /><br />Special thanks to Bryce, Dean, Garett, and Kaydence for bringing a special share this month. <br /><br />We also had a visit from Officer Hoff & Police Dog Timmy. The kids had lots of questions for Officer Hoff about the important job of his police dog.Mrs Hornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17779947783674310742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021495070275783950.post-52338687775569244052009-03-01T11:31:00.001-08:002009-05-04T11:33:04.574-07:00Flavors of CarltonFlavors of Carlton is CTC's largest annual fundraiser.<br /><br />Learning for Life Preschool has been selected to be the recipient of the annual paddle raise.
