All About Me

This week we learned a little bit more about each other. We talked about things that make us different and the same. We talked about our names, counted our letters, and did some name art. We talked about our families and where we live and made house art. We read "I Like Myself" and said what we like about ourselves. We missed the playground this week, but enjoyed playing in the motor room! 

Reminder-

If you haven't brought in your child's school supplies yet please do so. We would love a family picture for our playground door. The kiddos love seeing and showing off their family!

PLA is closed September 1st and 4th for Labor Day

Dr. Seuss

 Last week at PLA Academy, we had a blast celebrating Dr. Seuss! We spent the whole week exploring his whimsical world through stories, silly activities, and creative art projects. Here's a peek into our Seuss-tacular week: Monday: We kicked things off with everyone's favorite troublemaker, The Cat in the Hat! We donned our hats and sported red and white to match the iconic story. Instead of an individual art project, we collaborated on a giant Cat in the Hat hat – a masterpiece to remember! Tuesday: It was Silly Sock Day! Inspired by "The Foot Book," we unleashed our inner artists by walking through paint and across a long sheet of paper, leaving behind colorful footprints and mixing colors as we went. Wednesday: Get ready for "Wacky Wednesday!" Our classroom transformed into a land of the unexpected. From moved around furniture to misplaced objects, the kids had a blast spotting the wacky elements. Thursday: Green eggs and ham for breakfast? You bet! We em...

Polar Animals - Hibernation and Migration

Image
The past two weeks in preschool have been a whirl of icy adventures and cozy critters! We jumped into the world of polar animals, reading books, making snowy owl paintings, and even creating our own icy sensory tubs with miniature penguins, seals, polar bears, and more polar animals. We also explored the mysteries of hibernation and migration. We learned which animals snuggle up for winter naps and which take long journeys south. Our imaginations soared with "picture starter art," where googly eyes became amazing creatures on blank paper! We even painted cozy bear caves and celebrated Groundhog Day with a shadow art adventure outside (spoiler alert: Punxatawny Phil didn't see his shadow!). ☀️ We learned a catchy hibernation song, welcomed our first two special "VIPS" (Very Important Preschoolers) who are graduating this year, and of course, celebrated some birthdays!

Christmas fun 🎄

Image
 Ho Ho Ho and Happy Holidays from PLA!  We welcomed a new friend who fit right in and is a great addition to our PLA family.  We've had a whirlwind of wintery fun, and we wanted to share some of the magical moments with you, our amazing families. The scent of cinnamon and ginger filled the classroom with our homemade gingerbread play dough.  We hopped on the magical Polar Express, after reading the story and decorating cookies. As we rode along, we sipped hot cocoa and our imaginations soared as we jingled bells and practiced our "Believe"s, reminding ourselves that Christmas magic truly exists. Our classrooms shimmered as we crafted ornaments. Glitter flew, paint dripped, and tiny fingerprints proudly showcased their creations – the perfect decorations for the tree and gifts for parents! We didn't stop at just making gifts – we even created our own wrapping paper! With colorful stamps, each sheet became a mini masterpiece, making the unwrapping as much fun as the pr...
