January-February 2012:
During the winter season, you may see snow or frost. You will also see bare trees and few animals or insects. This is a good time for ssome indoor fun, if the weather is too cold to play outside. Try these activities.
*Color, cut and paste! Make greeting cards for relatives and friends. Send them out and surprise your relatives and friends.
*Make a bread snowflake. Get one piece of white bread and cut out corners and inside shapes to create a unique shape. Bake at a low temperature 10-20 minutes, unitl slightly brown. Take out of oven and hang outside for birds.
*Fill various size jars with jelly beans, gum balls and other small festive objects. Have your child(ren) guess how many are in each jar.
Have a fun winter!

Happy Chilly December!
The winter has arrived in Colorado & it’s always so good seeing snow often. The students really find the snow amusing. They get excited easily when they see snowflakes fall in our playground.
We only have two full weeks in December before our Winter break begins. We have a busy schedule ahead of us including Winter play on the 14th.

Happy November! Thanksgiving Day is around the corner. It’s always a nice opportunity to stop and ask yourself ”What are you thankful for?” Keep your eyes peeled for our Thanksgiving skit by preschool-kindergarten. We look forward to celebrating November with different events. Thank you for all that you do in October.

Happy October! This month already went by pretty fast. We are enjoying October so far. My class visited Miller Farms in Platteville and got to pick some vegetables such as potato, corn, carrots and onions. They also brought a pumpkin home. Growing Vegetable Soup is what we will read this week then we will cook vegetable soup with the vegetables we handpicked at the farm.

September 2011
Happy Fall! The days are getting a little shorter and somewhat cooler. The leaves are turning beautiful shades of orange, yellow, red and brown. Birds are flying South and squirrels are collecting food for winter. You are probably noticing many more changes around you as well. School is beginning, so during the time you spend with your child, here are some wonderful seasonal activities to do together.
* Make a fall bookmark. Get a piece of cardboard, and glue decorative fall leaves to it. Put two large books on top and let sit for a week until leaves flatten and dry. Use your bookmark with your favorite book.
* Using your five senses, make five list of thing you see, smell, touch, hear and taste during the fall season.
