We Are Thankful For Grandparents!

What a wonderful morning we had with our grandparents and grand-friends on Grandparents's Day 2011!   The children were so excited to share our classroom with their families.  They enjoyed singing songs, sharing art projects, and telling them a little bit about our day here in Pre-K 3 at Trinity.  These pictures really capture the joy that these little ones felt to have their grandparents and grand-friends spend the morning with them!  Thank you for coming to our special day!

November News

We have been very busy over the last month in Pre-K 3!  Fall is moving along quickly and there has been a lot going on.  After our Halloween fun, we started a Creative Curriculum unit on boxes.  We collected many boxes, big and small, and the children loved exploring them.  Food boxes were brought in from home, for our grocery store center in drama.  The students enjoyed playing cashier with their friends.  Bigger boxes were in our block center for the students to play with.  They loved climbing into them, stacking them, and seeing what could fit inside.  At circle time each day, we would guess what was inside the mystery box.  The children had to ask "yes" and "no" questions to try and get clues to figure out what was inside.  This was tricky at first, but they soon learned the types of questions that would help narrow down the guesses!  It was a lot of fun! We've also been learning about the first Thanksgiving and how the pilgrims and Indians worked together and became friends.  It's been fun playing in the teepee and Mayflower! Come along and see what we've been up to......
