Trips To Green Meadows Farm
This year began with a BANG!! Students had a chance to get to know each other and come together as a community of learners as they began to explore the Spanish language. We have been focusing on several topics such as: describing people, school subjects, numbers and telling time in Spanish. Verb conjugations and class conversations has also been an emphasis in order to develop good speaking skills. The class is very eager to learn!

In September we started the school year with a great excitement as to what we would learn this year.! The first few weeks of class, we focused on reviewing what the students had learned the prior year to get a better handle on the upcoming lessons. The textbook we are using is called “Buen Viaje” and we have already covered the chapters dealing with, school supplies, friends and family, sports, travel, vacationing and health. There is also a focus on both vocabulary and verb structure. The class is doing well!

Come to Pre-K3 on Tuesdays and you’ll be involved in “Station Day.” Children are separated into groups of two and works at a particular station. Every 15-20 minutes the child cleans up and rotates into another station. We have the playdough station with cookie cutters and a whole bunch of assortments to decorate and build with playdough. Art station consists of a craft and they are also able to freely express their artistic abilities by creating collages with glitter, sequence, crayons, markers, pompoms, craft sticks, stickers, etc. At the sand station students can play with animals that belong in the sand and create a desert. Next is the water and bubble station where children must determine what objects sink or float. Our next station is the chalk station where they use different color chalks to draw pictures and express there imagination. We also have a puzzle station where a more difficult puzzle is displayed and they must use team work to solve it. We also set out a board game station, usually memory games to also encouraging sharing, taking turns, and communication. Last but not least we have a sewing and lacing station to enhance fine motor skills. Overall this is a very messy but fun day of the week for us. The kids love it.

Fitness Workouts and Circuit Training
September has been a month dedicated to fitness workouts. Students began their second week of P.E. with circuit training, where they went through various stations such as pushups, sit ups, hurdles, cones, wall squats, etc. Students not only learned the proper way to exercise, but they began to realize why exercising is so important in their daily lives.
